Tonight we visited St Patrick’s Montessori Day Nursery, who deliver a fantastic service for children in the local area (0-5 yr olds!). We also ran 4km and chucked a few hill sprints in for good measure.

We had two new runners this evening - Liv and Meran - so give them a cheer for coming along GoodGym!

After all that news it was about time we headed out on the run - with Nina and Bryony back-marking we made our way down embankment and over Blackfriars Bridge, waving to a cheerful runner in a GoodGym top as he strode by. We stopped off to do a squat hold and some step-ups on the way over, but that didn't slow us down and we made it to the nursery very quickly.

The task: We met the very cheerful Lynnsey at the nursery and she split us up into 3 teams. 1 group tackled cutting out some flyers to put into jars, another took on the tricky task of filming the windows in the newly decorated baby room, and the final group headed to the kitchen hallway to clean some walls and re-shelve some storage. With lots of work to do we got cracking straight away. It took a while to work out how to re-shelve the kitchen storage, but with all our GoodGym minds put together we figured it out just in time and managed to raise all the shelves up before we had to leave. The group filming the windows had a big task as they had to make sure the windows were perfectly clean before measuring and cutting the film to size and sticking it to the window - I'm sure the nursery kids will love the work we did in there! With all the jars filled, 2 windows filmed, kitchen hallway cleaned and storage re-shelved, we waved goodbye to Lynnsey and the nursery and ran back to King's.

We arrived back with 5 minutes to spare - just enough time to squeeze in some hill sprints on Surrey Street! We focused on making sure the front of the foot made contact with the floor first, pumping our arms and keeping our torsos upright.

Fab running everyone! Join me next week for some more fun, games, running and doing good!

Tonight we visited the Sainsbury's by Warren Street Station to pack up their food collections for the amazing charity Rhythms of Life, who feed and educate the homeless. We also managed to run about 6km and get in lots of sprints, squats and lunges in the process.

Tonight we had a whopping five new runners - Bryony, Annie, Hannah, Sarah and Amy - these people all decided for the first time to use their run tonight to do some good, so I think they deserve a cheer, don't you?! We told them all about missions and coach runs which are great ways to get involved in the community on a more personal level, and really see the difference you can make to someone's life first hand.

We also found out that GoodGym have some Big Half entries for just £10! GoodGym are also putting on some Big Half specific starter sessions where you can get help with your training and advice on your running technique (plus you get to do a good deed too!) - you can see if any fit with your schedule here.

After this big intro we had to get started with our evening run sharpish, so we headed out onto the terrace for a warm up overlooking the Thames, before heading North through central London on a 3km run. At every other set of traffic lights we stopped to do some squats and lunges, and even had an elderly man join us for our squat jumps.

The task: We arrived at Sainsbury's with time to spare, so while we waited for them to get the boxes ready for us to pack the food into, we did a speedy fitness session right outside. We worked on our legs, our glutes and also managed to sneak in a little arm exercise (a muscle group that runners often forget about). With the ever increasing strange looks from customers getting a bit overbearing we made our way inside to pack the food collections into boxes, ready for the charity to pick up in the morning. Once in boxes, and while we waited for the manager to show us where to put them, we took over the pasta aisle with some very well formed planking action - great work on the fitness for this run, team!

On the run back we practiced some sprinting techniques, focussing on backwards arm drive and positioning ourselves upright.

Tonight was one of the strangest evenings of our lives, but it was certainly entertaining - see you next week for some more running and doing good.
