4 runners ran 3k to help feed and give clothes out to the homeless for The St Albert Street Project

Today we had an unusual Saturday morning GG group run as it was the GoodGym Brum Starter session. It was lovely to welcome mother and daughter Parv and Marcy along for their first GG outing.

After the intro, we went across to Subway to meet the team from the Albert Street project as they gathered supplies together. We set off around the city centre giving out food which included pasties, wagon wheels (hence the pun), hot drinks and hats too the homeless who were all very greatfull. We spent a good half an hour doing our good deed before heading off on our run.

The run was through the town down to St Paul’s square were the group used the benches to do some core work. All of the group put in a good shift showing collective strong cores! Then we headed back to our base, a slightly different location to our usual hub. The hills certainly gave the group a hard workout, you certainly aren’t likely to find any flat routes in Brum! We even added on a little extra for luck, a lap around Colmore Row, to take us up to just shy of 3k. Well done everyone :-)

On Tuesday we will be out doing good again, it would be great if you could join us sign up here.
