10 Energised GoodGymers ran 4k to make 17 beds at the American Church and demolished a 20 minute circuit for fun!

On a night of multiple Goodgym boarder crossings we had the pleasure for helping out our friends in Camden continuing their weekly task helping the American Church prepare for their Winter homeless shelter by making up 17 beds!

After welcoming our GG newbie Matilda and congratulating our returning Big Half conquers we headed off to shhh Camden as GoodGym Camden had their massive Southbank task and need all hands on deck for that!

A surprisingly short run given we crossed boroughs enabled us to get stuck in early. Laying the game of bed Tetris first to squeeze 15 beds into the main room with a further 2 into the back room.

We then had the big debate of the evening, Which is the best way to put a duvet cover on??? Seems this is a highly controversial topic and might have to go onto a band list as so many of you are wrong!! Only Francis had the right method!!

A very enjoyable task making up beds for 17 of the most in need people around! Getting a great insight into how the homeless shelter works, who they help and hopefully maybe a lead so we can find similar projects in Westminster.

With some time on the clock we zipped over to Bedford Square to unleash some circuits mayhem!! Flipping between Cardio, legs (lots of legs), a burst of upper body graft and some plyometric moves to round out 20 minutes of muscle pumping fun!

A recovery 2k back to base with plenty of chat of possible Spring/ Summer Running races going on!!

On that note as I said I have a special GG discount code for Hackney Half! Here it is vsgoodgymhh18 I also have discount codes for the British 10k and Oxford Half marathon in October. Drop me a line and I will send those over if you want them!

Have a great week

Smooth Running
