5 awesome Goodgymmers joined the Achilles International UK VI running group for our 3rd official group run in Battersea Park!
Abbie, Jack and Luc did some smashing guided runs with visually impaired runners Mark, Andrew and Naqi (Naqi is in preparation for the Bristol 10km on Saturday- good luck!). Stephen and Simon offered their assistance by looking after bags and playing with adorable guide dogs Max, Mario and Hugo (and Wine, a lovely Peruvian rescue dog).
A wonderful evening everyone- well done!
Next Thursday, we will be at Emirates Stadium, meeting at Arsenal tube station:

5 top Goodgym runners joined Area Activator Simon for our 2nd official trip to the Stratford Olympic Park with all abilities running club Achilles International. Together, we had an abundance of visually impaired runners, bag drop supporters and guide runners meeting at the Westfield exit of Stratford Station, before battling some strong winds towards the West Ham stadium (our bag drop location).
It was awesome to catch up with our running friends- Andrew and Tim are currently in the depths of training for London Marathon. Chris Blackabee, Severine and daughter Siri also joined us after travelling from Belgium last week. Chris was featured on a smashing interview on the BBC about the Achilles International collaboration with London Landmarks Half Marathon next week.

We were so fortunate to have 18+ VI runners, guides and bag drop / dog watch supporters on Thursday evening at Emirates Stadium. Our crew met up at Arsenal underground station (along with first timers Sean, Ciara, Michaela and Philip- welcome), before heading to the "Tony Adams Statue" for all different group runs (intervals, steady runs before The Big Half, fartlek and run-walks were on the agenda!).
A great turnout for an excellent evening of running.
See you at Paddington Rec Track/ Maida Vale next week!
