The fact its taken me nearly 48 hours to write a Run Report shows quite how good a night we had celebrating the Amazing Andy before he leaves us (hopefully temporarily!) for pastures new.

A night at Dice escalated from family-friendly games to debauched drawings in Scrawl, leading to many photos of the night being NSFW. I have certainly not laughed so much in a long time - and I hope you enjoy Donkey Batman in the photos. No, I cannot remember the context for his existence.

The quiz round "Dead, English, Both or Neither" nearly brought our night to an early finish after Andy's heart broke after learning that Sean Connery was no longer with us. We shall raise a Martini (shaken, not stirred) in his honour at some point.

We ended the night channeling our inner Tom Jones (Andy) and The Little Mermaid (Big Wine Jen) at Bobby's Bar. I would recommend not watching the videos which have somehow made their way into the social chat...

Hope everyone had a great night, and yes, I did make it to work on time and semi-functional on Saturday morning.

The trails around the YHA National Forest provided a spectacular backdrop for a brilliant Sunday morning run, a perfect way to round-up an incredible weekend at GoodGym Shindig 2026!

Andy had the privilege of leading a fantastic GoodGym crew through the woods today, joined by the legends that are: Ivo, Louise, Sammy, and Denzel - who absolutely smashed his very first trail run!

The woodland scenery, lakes, and canals made the miles fly by as we tackled the undulating paths, enjoying the fresh air and the extra physical challenge that comes with off-road running.

Between navigating the routes, and almost losing the shorter members of the team to the longer cow parsley (- sorry Sammy!), the conversation took a brilliantly existential turn, marveling at the sheer luck of the stars aligning to bring all of these legends together and onto the paths in the exact same place, at the exact same moment! What are the odds?! This naturally sparked some deep, mid-run debates about time itself.

We eventually pushed through to hit the 15km mark, in what was a phenomenal shared effort, and an unbeatable way to spend a Sunday morning.

Well done to each and every one of you, and thanks Shindig! We hope to see you all again soon!
