Islington Report written by Simon Fitzmaurice
Last night, Achilles International UK welcomed 10 visually impaired runners to our weekly group run session- this time at Paddington Rec Track, Maida Vale. Our runners included first timers Yahya and Tanja (training for The Big Half and Kingston Half Marathon) and returning distance runner Khalid (ready to run London Marathon on Sunday). Fellow VI runners preparing for London Marathon included Andrew Jones and Mark Colby- look out for the distinctive Achilles International yellow tops if you are spectating on Sunday!
A bumper turnout this week, especially for new guides too- well done to James and Jess for shadowing and guide running on their first session with Achilles. Goodgym runners Andy, Stephen and Daniel were brilliant VI guides for Andrew, Tanja and Mark. Big thanks to Kim for looking after beautiful guide dog Mario too, while his owner Andrew ran his last pre-race shake out session. Good luck to all pf our Achilles International UK racers on Sunday!
We will be back on Thursday 1st May at Green Park:
