Running with The Good Gym: It's a Good Thing
Great to run yesterday for the first time with the guys and girls at The Good Gym out and about in Bethnal Green.
The Good Gym is a cracking social venture - the brainchild of the brilliant Ivo and Mark, and product of the equally ace Social Innovation Camp where the idea was born and developed. Their tagline summarises it pretty neatly - fit for purpose.
The mission last night was for the 11 volunteer runners who turned up in the squally London night to head out to a primary school, lift 50 or so bags of soil to a new roof garden being built on the top floor of the school, and run back. Some real heavy lifting, a good little run out and about East London, and a well deserved pint afterwards.
More to come on The Good Gym, as we look to see what kind of app we can help them build as part of our Good for Nothing idea on Dec 3/4 but if you fancy a different fitness challenge and are in the area, check them out and get involved.
