5 visually impaired runners and 4 Goodgym guides from all different boroughs joined the weekly Achilles International group session last night. During the winter months, we meet up at Maida Vale tube station, and walk together to Paddington Recreation Ground Track to run on perfectly flood lit and well surfaced terrain.

Charlie ran with Tom for a full 10km, and Harvey and Andrew ran 5km together. Katy shared guiding duties with Achilles International regular Stephen, running alternate laps with returning VI runner Mark. Other running pairs included Naqi and Seb (a speedy duo who ran the Marathon together last year!), and Ashfaq and Dmitri, who clocked a 22 minute 5km on the track! Area Activator Simon was also on hand to watch our bags and to support from the sidelines (we may have some new recruits signing up try guiding!).

Smashing running everyone- we'll be back again same time, next week!
