Welcome to GoodGym Lewisham!
We're a friendly and social group who combine exercise with helping out in the local community. We meet every Monday evening to get active and do a physical task to help the charities and community organisations in our area.
The Task:
This week we are heading to Seniors and now the evenings are getting darker, we’ll be helping with some indoor tasks such as cleaning the toys in the cafe, cleaning the many windows or maybe clearing the basement again!
The Run/walk:
GoodGym is for everyone. We welcome runners of all abilities and it is sometimes possible to walk to the task if you would prefer. We always have a back-marker so no-one is left behind - we're about achieving something together, so you'll always be welcome no matter what your pace is. It’s a longer run this week and includes some hills (which is all good for our running) - it’s about 7-8km in total.
The Essentials:
We meet at Glass Mill Leisure Centre at 6.45pm, so a short walk from Lewisham Station. We have access to lockers and changing facilities, so you could easily drop in on your way home (bring a pound coin or padlock if you want to use the lockers). Look out for the red t-shirts, we're very friendly! Every so often we head out after our run for some food and drink, a chance to get to know each other a bit better.
See you soon!
Make sure you've read our general guidelines for safety for taking part in a GoodGym session.
This is a GoodGym group run. You'll meet other GoodGymers at the start location and run to the task together. If you can't run for more than 15 minutes without stopping or you're worried about any aspect of the session, contact your area activator Kim by email at kimparker@goodgym.org.
Options are available to run between 6km and 8km in total.
Remember that we will be running to and from the task, so you'll only be running for half this distance in one go.
