Congratulations to all the Hounslow runners who did the Richmond Half on Sunday , especially those finishing just like the iconic first London marathon winners in 1991! Way to go Remy, Andy, Michelle, Eloise and Jen!

Well done to Kate for doing her first ever parkrun and to Luis for his personal best! Great running.

Don't forget that tomorrow night is the unofficial ten year GoodGoom birthday party. From 6:30 at Topolski Bar in Waterloo - join us for a fun evening of all things GoodGym related!

After a warm up outside where we did a poll on our favourite sports brands - Brooks, New Balance, LuLuLemon, Sweaty Betty , Mizuno, Nike and even GoodGym all featured - we set of for our task of the evening.

Our job was to help plant 28 small beech trees which will eventually grow to form a green wall outside a local school on a bid to combat air pollution in the playground.

We had a quick lesson on how to do the planting correctly from Ed, and we were let loose on the trees! It was a very satisfying job, and before long all of the 'whips' were in the ground ready to grow big and strong.

Our next job was to go into the playground and help clear all the leaves that were piling up along the fence and starting to rot. With a great hack on how to make home made leaf scoopers from the headteacher, we got straight to it, collecting 6 big bin bags of leaves in just 15 minutes. As a reward we were allowed to do our circuits session in the beautifully lit playground, which was far less soggy than our usual spot!

With eight stations each focusing on a different muscle group and alternating between conditioning and cardio, we worked hard for 45 seconds at a time before recovery. There was some great frog action, some interesting choreography on the clock lunges and a perfect three-person plank high five formation to be seen - well done team! Check out those action shots....

All that was left was to head back for base, but before that we had to figure out how to escape the playground. Apparently there was a light grey button, which none of us could spot. It was looking like we may have to spend the night there, when Alan came to the rescue by eventually locating the release button - that's why we call him the Professor (and also that he is a legit professor).

A very speedy run back to base (well done Remy on her new mile record) followed by some stretching and we were done. Next week we are off to the excellent Cultivate London to lend a hand - until then, run happy GoodGym!
