Hackney Report written by Joel Wiles
13 Hackney GoodGymers ran 5k to help save everything useable from the soon to be closing Cordwainers Grow garden.
An evening in the daylight but punctuated with wind, rain, sunshine and of course hailstones!!
A crazy close task allowed two of or runners to walk to the task even bringing along George the dog to sing us doggie rap while we shifted stuff!
A sad evening for everyone involved in Cordwainers Grow garden as the land it is on is being sold on to be developed! After many years of amazing gardening and creating a community of amazing people who enjoyed a bit of gardening pretty much everything had to go!
So we rolled tyres, carried benches, log seats, plants, worm boxes, Wood, bee shelves, bagged compost, bricks and even a mower to create an Aladdin’s cave of useful community garden that was free to the first person who saw it along Mare street.
35 minutes and everything that was not a shed was removed and we were done! A rewarding up run looping along the canal to round us up to 5 strong K of running finished off the evening!!
See you next week for our visit to Abney!

Amazing! 9 runners ran 6.5km, cleaned the heck out of some garden furniture AND did burpee/mountain climber TABATA! And now an awesome run report from the awesome Kerry!
Last night's run started at Bodyline Fitness Studios, with a great crew of 9. We gently jogged to Haven Green across the road for some bright and cheery warm ups to get us ready for the 3km run to Impact Theatre in Perivale.
We ran over what felt like many hills, but of course what goes up must come down! The classic running mantra! And the steady pace saw us all there in one piece so we got straight into cleaning some furniture in the back garden of the theatre. Mel was on it with the hose and everyone else scrubbed and tidied and it was looking shiny and nice. The theatre is a lovely facility for adults with disability to learn through theatre performance and creation.
Many hands make light work and we were finished quickly. Onto a quick HIIT session of burpees and mountain climbers before heading back to base in Ealing. TABATA training is a great way to do high intensity exercise in a short period of time and exercises like burpees and mountain climbers with strengthen your whole body and help your running too!
After a tough but satisfying journey back, we did some lovely stretches.
Great run team, looking forward to next week!
