Phil is a now a fully fledged GoodGym runner. They've just run to do good for the first time. They are out there making amazing things happen and getting fit at the same time.

14 happy GoodGymers ran 5k to help clear a garage at St Andrews youth Club the oldest Youth Club in world!
After the 34 degree run last week we were back to normal with a overcast and drizzly Wednesday but no fear GoodGym was hear to brighten up hump day!
With David leading the way we headed South weaving a trail of positivity and smiles down to St James' where we got to work with a 10 minute leg blast!! Dominating a intense combination of lunges, squats and calf raises even throwing in a 20/20/20 plyometric Jump Lunge, Calf hop, jump Squat to finish!!
We finished off the last of the run and made our way to meet Adrian at St Andrews and got to work first removing 3 huge store cupboards of stuff to the street where we sorted it and neatly (Tetris style) replaced it into nice ordered easy to find sections. This clear out will help to make a massive difference to this thriving youth centre allowing the kit car project to have more space to made a working car which if fast enough can complete in races!!
After a quick tour we were off! Zipping 2.5k back to New Balance store in perfect time with a really rewarding and feel good task complete!!
Next week we will be working with Open Age Charity to promote physical activity classes and groups for the over 55's in the North of the borough!
Be great to have you along!
Have a top week
Smooth Running
