Sheffield Code Club (https://codeclub.org/en/clubs/0805e8e5-d7a7-4d81-8be1-0536fc2d7c32) are looking for volunteers to help kids learn to code (otherwise they may not be able to continue).
If you're free Thursday afternoons and fancy helping please get in touch with them.
Boosts would be appreciated.

Start of the year I set myself an arbitrary goal of running 1000km, reached that by end of August so added 500km. Tuesday I passed the 1500km mark.
All runs from not to end of Dec are a bonus.
Enjoying my running usually 10-14km 4 times a week and averaging ~11.50km/h
All tracked using #OpenTracks and logged using @FitTrackee
