It was smiles all round at Milton Country parkrun this morning.

Brilliant to welcome Caroline for her first GoodGym community mission 🙌

I was cheering on the amazing runners and walkers battling the heat, and Caroline was on token sorting duty, having completed her run - very impressive! A treat to use the bespoke token holders, 3D printed especially for Milton parkrun.

What a scorcher for our first visit to Fox Den Community Allotment! 🦊

We were met by the brilliant Lorna, who showed us round the beautiful space and shared the history of the allotment - once home to a family of foxes. Lorna and volunteers from Abbey People have transformed the area to grow a huge variety of fruit, vegetables and herbs for the local community and Abbey Food Hub.

It was brilliant to welcome Philip for his first GoodGym mission. 💪

We set to work building frames for the broccoli, thinning the bumper crop of tomatoes, and giving everything a much needed water. Never missing an opportunity, carrying the double watering cans worked well for some weighted squats. We had the added bonus of meeting some chickens and were able to harvest some produce to take home - Phil becoming Fox Den's fist broccoli man. 🥦

The allotment is a calm haven in the city and we can't wait to visit again!

A great morning marshalling at Coldham's Common parkrun. The atmosphere is always brilliant with lots of friendly runners and walkers. Well done everyone 🙌

We kicked off the social run in Cambridge! Not even temperatures over 20°C could stop us from coming together for a great run.

What a lot goes on behind the scenes at parkrun! I got a taste of it today as part of the pack down team. There were cones, signs, and more cones to be collected, kit to be sorted and, of course, the wrangling of the start sign. 💪

Great to meet the Girls That Jog group, who were keen to hear more about GoodGym 🙌

At Coldham's we pace! The first weekend of the month is pacer week at Coldham's Common parkrun, which means we can get our run in while volunteering 💪 We love all parkrun volunteering roles, but there's nothing quite like being caught up in the energy of the crowd. The best part this week was speaking to park runners who had never run with a pacer before and found it really helpful. And there's nothing we love more at GoodGym than helping people reach their goals 🙌
