This morning, we made the most of the lovely weather and helped out at the 3rd Brook Leys parkrun. 👟👟

I arrived nice and early for pre-event set-up, starting with helping to set up the finish funnel. Ann arrived shortly after, meeting us at the shipping container near the start/finish. Together, we walked the route around the lake to put up signs helping runners navigate this new course. 🧭

When the time came, I headed to the start line and Ann to her marshal spot. We had a fantastic time running with and cheering on over 500 runners and walkers. 🏃‍♀️👏

A huge well done to all who took part and volunteered to make this event possible! A very wholesome start to the weekend. ☺️

From mindfulness to mangoes, the festival had it all

We attended the annual Cambridge Wellness Festival to promote GoodGym and encourage more people to get active and give back 🫶

We had some brilliant conversations with people attending the festival about the wellbeing benefits of GoodGym, and with local organisations about future community missions.

Whilst there, we had to try out some of the activities on offer, so Caroline jumped at the chance to try some inclusive cycling with bikeworks and I did some guided meditation. In need of some refreshment, we went for a smoothie, the catch being that we had to mix it ourselves by peddling furiously on stationary bikes. Cue a little GoodGym competition 💪

Big shout out to David from GoodGym Luton who flagged the festival - quite literally, by sharing the info with us and bringing the GoodGym flag! 🚩

We were supporting Coldham's Common parkrun in the sunshine this morning, cheering on over 300 runners and walkers! 🙌

Caroline was on duty as a Marshal and I was handing out finish tokens. It's always a buzz to see parkrunners through the finish line - all with a mix of relief and sense of achievement. 💪

Volunteering alongside other parkrun volunteers, we had some very inspirational chats about ultramarathons and multi-day hikes. Training started with post parkrun pastries 🥐
