13 fab runners ran 6 km on a beautiful sunny evening to help out the Heatons Centre.

As the Trainer of GoodGym Liverpool, a trip to our neighbouring GoodGym Stockport was long over due. So with their usual Trainer Lisa on her jollies, I was the substitute teacher. Gladly, I was met with a warm welcome. While Lisa enjoys the sandy beaches of Ibiza, she left us with a packed of sandpaper!

Our task was to sand down flaky handrails outside the Heatons Centre, the base for Signposts, a local charity supporting unwaged carers of all ages in the Stockport area. With some vigorous sanding techniques, our sandpaper didn't last for too long. But we did the best we could with limited resources and the handrails were left a lot smoother than when we arrived. Great work team!

Shout out to newbie Hayley - I hope you enjoyed your first time with GoodGym. I'm sure Lisa would love to meet you next week. Thanks also to Pauline and Emma who accompanied me from Liverpool and earned their Scout badge.

After completing the task I wanted to know what team Stockport is made of so I worked them hard on a fitness task with some strengthening and conditioning drills. We also enjoyed a little sprinting. The run back was mostly downhill and I managed to remember the route back without any assistance!

Thanks for having me Stockport, hope to see you again sometime. Normal service will resume next week.

*Happy running,

Char <3*

P.S. You can sign up for the Liverpool Spring 10km here :)
