A HUGE GGSHF welcome to new runner;
Click her name above to support and cheer her!
This week was the last group run of the Jan challenge and our fantastic runners came out in force for a new collaboration run with the brilliant Justin and Ben from LOVE OUR STREETS which is a program to try and clean up the streets of Sheffield and keep them that way by encouraging people to adopt a street to stay on top of the litter on that street.
We ran to just off Eccy Rd to meet with Justin and Ben to hear more about this fantastic initative and get a good competition in as well to see which team was the most rubbish!
With maps provided by Justin and Ben we split into 4 teams to cover 4 different areas and see how many bags of rubbish each of the four teams could collect in the time we had.
Team three were the victors with a solid 3 bags!
After we had said our goodbyes we headed home via a ramp for some hills sprints. We also got some good extension loops onto the run whilst on route back to keep the group together and challenge those that fancied it.
Until next time,
Happy Running :)

Chris is a now a fully fledged GoodGym runner. They've just run to do good for the first time. They are out there making amazing things happen and getting fit at the same time.

On a glorious sun shining evening we welcomed no less than FOUR new @GGSHEFF runners. Big cheers for;
Hope you all enjoyed it and will be along in future weeks!
After welcoming our new runners and doing are standard count up, brief and group photo we headed up into the centre of town to the rear of the Winter gardens with some circular squats and stair sets thrown in to keep the group together over the traffic lights.
At the winter gardens we met Gareth, Doug and Tim from the REGATHER team who along with our GG Task Force Team captains Kim, Sam and Steve would help us co-ordinate and assemble three big marquees ready for Sheffield Food Festival where REGATHER will be doing all sorts of non for profit pay as you feel foody activities to engage the local public in sustainable and local food!
By the end of the eve the three marquees were all beautifully erect with poles all in the correct places, bungees lashed down tight and water buts ratcheted to ensure nothing gets blown away.
Well that was pretty intense.... - Steve Gilmer
With time pretty tight we only had time for a quick group abs session on the nearby grass consisting of;
We head home and stretched off on the grass before hearing the latest news which included Sam reaching 200 good deeds and Steve reaching a huge 250! Massive congrats to you both!
Until next time, happy running :)
