How'd you like them apples?
15 GoodGymers made their way 5km to help the Regather in Sheffield.
- Monday, 21st of October 2019

On a dark eve, with streets filled with later to be disappointed Arsenal football fans, we set off from our base of the Showroom Cinema to the REGATHER Co-operative to meet old friend GORGEOUS GARETH.
Gareth welcomed us with a big smile and open arms and took us through the tasks for the eve which would help the local co-operative out. This week it included:
- Apple Sorting
- Lifting & Shifting
- Litter Picking
- Spring/Autumn cleaning
We got straight onto the tasks and also enjoyed a bit of Regather history whilst on task around how an 18th century working streetlight came to be homed in this snug little community venue.
Conversations were also had re most interesting pieces of rubbish found litter picking which this week included a wet towel in a bag, a suitcase, some pyjamas and a kitchen knife which was passed onto Gareth to pass onto the police. Discussions in other areas of the building entailed fave apples and horror films, very diverse.
On the way back to base we used our new and very handy portable lights to light up an area for some FUN FITNESS which this week included;
- Tri Dips
- Press Ups
- Squat Jumps
We did ten reps of each followed by a sprint around the circular fence to make a quick but effective interval session!
On return home we heard about all the latest upcoming events and headed into the now much quieter Showroom for after run drinks.
Until next time, happy running!
