19 GoodGym Coventry runners relocated to the Council House and ran 5km to support the work of the Cyrenians in Coventry.

This evening started off a little differently at the Council House, where it was great to meet Jack, Karen and Pacharo who had come with us for the first time.

We set off to find our start location on The Martyr's close (Historical information here ), some runners opting for a slightly more scenic route , teams were given roads and quickly set off to deliver their bags. And we finished up a big hill, where at the top Meera tried to make friends with a local cat.

In no time at all, 400 bags were delivered on a route that took in a few hills. As this was not enough hills for our intrepid runners we set off to find some more hills on Puma Way (with all the sights and sounds of locals and the wildlife) to support our efforts.

We returned to the Council House, stretched and made plans for the next week. Next week, shoudl see some 50 run celebrations as well as post-run drinks to say farewell to Brogan as she sets off on her travels. Will be great to see you then. Liz x

Storm Brendan may have been making his way across the UK but undeterred, 16 GoodGym runners welcomed Matt and set off to run 8km to support Feeding Coventry and the Coventry Social Supermarket.

On our way, through howling winds, we completed some hill reps, powering up the hills and enjoying our recovery back down again. After regrouping, we set off to the Social Supermarket where we were met by Ellie.

Our tasks involved: tidying up old offices, painting bathrooms and moving items of furniture. Teams were formed and tasks were completed. The office team found swag bags, typewriters and football shields, the bathroom teams started coating the randomly coloured walls and the furniture team moved cupboards, a piano and a bar!

Once we had tidied away the paint and posed for photos, we headed back through more rain to Drapers.

Well done all, have a great week and maybe see you Saturday, Liz x
