A few GoodGym members helped with some citizen science for local rivers. Here’s what Paul had to say.
I spent 15-20 minutes by the River Quaggy in Lewisham then completed a short survey; it’s a small, urban river which meanders behind houses and through parks. My observation point was a point by a small waterfall in a park where the sound of the water drowns out most of the other sounds.
Thanks
Paul

A few GoodGym members came online to do yoga.
Yoga talk Yoga talk, static holds. This is a really interesting episode about isometric exercises and their benefits. In yoga, we are constantly using static holds on a combination of muscle groups. New research points to very positive benefits on blood pressure and fitness.

A few goodgym members decided to do some litter picking in their local areas could be a local Park or Street at a time of their convenience during April. Quite often this is well received by local people and has a knock on positive effect. Let’s look to do it again in May!

My contribution this month was on Blackheath where I picked litter from one of the larger fields bounded on each side by roads - a couple of bags worth of take away detritus was picked from the verges. I had a couple of chats with passers by about GoodGym

Kubilay and I were on a mission: to save Parkrun from the dreaded fate of cancellation due to a lack of volunteers. Armed with our enthusiasm and matching GoodGym shirts, we braved the initially rainy Hampstead Heath, determined to make a difference. As we arrived, the beauty of the ancient trees and the camaraderie of fellow volunteers instantly lifted our spirits.
Assigned to barcode scanning duty, Kubilay and I became the gatekeepers of data, diligently recording each runner’s ID and finishing position. We felt like secret agents of the running world, gathering intel for the greater good of Parkrun statistics. The runners, grateful for our efforts, showered us with thanks!
After the last runner crossed the finish line, we triumphantly packed up our scanning equipment and headed for a well-deserved coffee break. As we sat in a nearby manor house, sipping our drinks and basking in the satisfaction of a job well done, we couldn’t help but marvel at the unexpected adventure volunteering had turned out to be. Who knew saving Parkrun could be so exhilarating?
