Westminster Report written by Danny
We had a spectacular turn out for the British 10K, where GoodGym were helping put the race on by looking after the 7-8km aid stations, rehydrating runners as they ran past.
One group were on the water station whilst the other group handed out nuun electrolyte drinks.
Water hot day it was!
It was hot hot hot out on Victoria Embankment, but everyone arrived bright and early to set up the stations so they were ready for 9.30am when the race started. GoodGym had the perfect spot - right on Victoria Embankment, opposite the London Eye - perfect for cheering, supporting and handing out water to the runners (plus there was even a bit of shade under the trees!).
It was a mega success and we provided the runners with lots of support for their last push of the race.
Hopefully we'll manage an aid station at the Oxford Half too - so watch this space!

Lambeth Report written by Katie Welford
WOWEEE! The sun was shining and Lambeth was out in force as 41 excellent people came along to finish three tasks with aplomb.
Team 1 went with Beth to Loughborough Junction A group of 11 of us made the short jog down to the Remakery in Loughborough Junction. Once we’d figured out how to get in (the ‘out the back’ post-it on the door proving more confusing than it should have done) we were welcomed in and told a bit about all the wonderful things that go on there - there’s a co-working, word-working, and upholstery space for members to use and even a collection of bikes to be fixed up. Our task for the evening was to empty a couple of metal cupboards of paint tins, move the cupboards and restock them. The human chain took a while to get going but once it did we were passing paint tins between each other like a bunch of pros. A wicker chair and a few other items were also moved to a garage and with that we had a quick tour and set off back to Papa’s.
Team 2 went with Issy to a doctor's surgery on Clapham High Street We went to help the GP Food Coop, who plant food and flowers in GP surgeries and hospitals across Lambeth. There were three massive planters full of soil, that weren't actually being used. We had to dig all of the soil out and then the planters are going to get moved to a Stockwell surgery, where we will fill them back up again and grow things!
Team 3 went with Katie to Clapham Common We were back at our lovely task of planting wildflowers on the common. This week it was a very relaxed affair, as the main aim was to water all the plants really well and pull out the grassy edges that are threatening to take over the beds again. We managed this just fine and then did some heel raises to strengthen our ankles before heading back to base.
It was our weekly social night, so we headed off to the Duke of Edinburgh for a drink in the big beer garden.
Nice work Lambeth!
