This week we had some returners, plus we welcomed some new runners to King’s - Jack, Kelly, Simone, and Carrie - give them a cheer for coming to their first ever group run everybody!

We started our evening run with a warm up and some quick introductions to find out everyone’s best ever fancy dress costume, in true halloween style, before setting out on our run to help British Legion with creating their Poppy Appeal boxes.

After a 1.5km run there, we were greeted by Jemma, who split us into two teams and explained everything that needed doing.

The task: We got straight to work and it was a competition between the bag and box fillers to see who could get the most done in half an hour. The bag fillers were putting t-shirts and information into drawstring bags for the student poppy appeal collectors to pick up. The box fillers were filling Poppy Appeal boxes with badges, wristbands, poppies and more.

In the end it was the bag fillers that won after they filled an incredible 100 bags! Many hands make light work.

Once finished we made our way to St Paul's Churchyard for a spooktacular halloween fitness session made up of creepy crawlers, scared black cats, and of course some scary sprints (focussing on our backward arm drive to help set the rhythm) and then headed back to King’s for some stretches.

Great running from everyone today - see you next week, when we will be heading to a local school to do a stock take of their tools.

PS. Don't forget about the social and christmas party I mentioned!
