We love the number 11 so much we Did it again tonight, and a big welcome back to Holly this evening, if you’ve had a break for a few weeks don’t worry, We can adapt the session to suit everyone and would love to see you again.

A fun warm up of hopping, jumping, touching the ground and star jumps depended on age, gender, job, names was had and everyone was ready to go.

Three groups went running door to door, expertly done now with the past two weeks training, we even covered areas not in the map. “Strava stalking” was needed to determine where we went. A search party had to be employed at one point as we were down two runner. Ragu and David found the never ending road. And like the yellow brick road they found their “heart”.

Tonights task was a tandem of charities, spreading the word about the horsey run for Raceways who fund free running events for children and Chase Meadow community centre.

A run back in two parts, the first group heading back early to combat the hill and the search party and awol gang followed in hot pursuit.

Once at the top of the hill, a pace race began; in teams of three with a faster runner in each the aim of the game was to pace your team round to finish together. Adjudicator Holly with her finish line photo showed one winning team. Although the rest were very close behind.

Great team effort as always with the GoodGym gang.

A little stretch and a congratulations to David and Michelle for being Mission ready

See you next week

A pack of hardy runners braved the icy conditions this evening to deliver the Christmas news to the Merry Folk of Sydenham.

It seems the Christmas traffic has already hit Leamington as a fair few intrepid runners were slightly delayed, luckily we rescued Gavin from the Frozen landscape of Asda's carpark - other supermarket carparks are also available...

A brief warm-up outside getting those arms alive and our knees high and with Philip and his Santa bells ringing off we jogged.....

On arrival at the meeting point - the amazing Sharon met us with a ton of leaflets in her car. Having done a similar task a few weeks ago we were much more efficient this time. Splitting into teams everyone had a designated area to run to. It was more a skating show than a running effort as the pavements were turning to ice, so a slightly less speedy run through Synenham this evening.

Massive thanks to those that came out in the cold as this will have a made a massive different to the Syndi centre.

Regrouping, we attempted a group selfie, Becky really needs some lessons on this. We then ran back through the Town centre to see the pretty lights and to avoid the horrid hill.

Once back, we finished off with some stretches and cool downs. Big welcome to new runner Fallon, well done for braving the cold for your first run.

A reminder that this Sunday is the Santa run, if you've not signed up to run, come down and cheer us all on...

13 runners joined forces to clear the streets of Leamington of litter this week.

It was a case of lets beat the rain as it was threatening to soak us according to the weather report.

After a warm up in the front garden of the Fat Pug we were ready to go. Iain looked like he was off to scale the mountains due to carrying the litter pickers which made an interesting noise as he ran along.

Reaching the main town area we collided with the students night out, which appeared to be a chain of young men, all attached to each other being screamed at and wearing bin bags, we decided that it was best not to ask but take a photo and quickly move on.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, Matt, our lovely link with Leam Trash Friends was unable to meet us. So armed with grabbers from a well known local store we split into teams of 3 to race to find the most litter.

Finds included - a lost wallet, (through the mode of social media this was returned swiftly to its owner - an added good deed tonight) too many fag ends to mention, a skip, beer cans, plenty of takeaway wrappers and a Tandoori Oven Unfortunately it was a little to heavy to carry and a 50p which went in the charity pot at the Fat Pug.....

We had clear winners who found a treasure trove in the hedges outside the Doctors Surgery, filling three bags in 40 minutes, two teams came a close second.

After storing the bags ready for collection we jogged back to the park to focus on our High Knees, which of course included a little game of What's the time Mr Wolf? There was a few wobbles but lots of fun.

Running back, the more intense runners were tasked with racing the hills and jogging back to join the less intense runners, there were a few sweaty runners by the end.

Thanks to Alain for taking some lovely photos in the dark.

Finishing off with a lovely stretch just before the heavens opened.

A successful second run. Can't wait for next week.

We would all like to wish Matt and his family lots of love and we can't wait to work with them again in the future.
