Combined age of 304 but still running :)

Hi all

gazettelive.co.uk/news/tees...

These guys run at my local Park Run and have been dubbed the 'Antiques Roadshow' and have a combined age of 304 years! They've just been on the local news/TV and they are looking for challengers to take them on in a running relay

I was thinking we could make up a group from c25k but, I for one, probably couldn't keep up with them

Great example to us all and I'm looking forward to running alongside them at my first Park Run

Woah! They're amazing!

[paul2014 Graduate in reply to frannyfran]

Aren't they just, fran.

[Lavender1962 Graduate]

They are truly inspiring!

[paul2014 Graduate in reply to Lavender1962]

A great advert for looking after yourself if ever there was one.

I think it must be good for mind and body if they are anything to go by! Enjoy your Parkrun when you go

[paul2014 Graduate in reply to I_will]

It certainly is and thank you, I'm certainly looking forward to it. I may just tag onto the back of these guys

[I_will Graduate in reply to paul2014]

You could take a skateboard and let one of them pull you along by grabbing a shirt if you need a rest. D'you think they'd notice?

[paul2014 Graduate in reply to I_will]

Haha. They probably wouldn't notice Good idea actually

[Jaqs99 Graduate]

Wow impressive stuff. Still plenty of years to get as good! Happy next park run.

[paul2014 Graduate in reply to Jaqs99]

Thanks. Exactly, I've got another 20-30 years (god willing) to get as good as them

very very nice and inspirational! And I´m still laughing with the idea of using calendars instead of watches

[paul2014 Graduate in reply to anadelsur]

Hi Ana, yes, I found that bit amusing, too ;o)

[agedsnailspace Graduate]

Brilliant, just brilliant.

[paul2014 Graduate in reply to agedsnailspace]

Indeed :o)

[notbad Graduate]

Brill, love that for a couple of them it's a relatively new thing, amazing.

[paul2014 Graduate in reply to notbad]

I know, I think it was Fred who only starting running in his 70's! There's hope for me yet ;o)

[azharalkindi Graduate]

Wow I'm out of words.. We jus have to work hard to look after our health

[paul2014 Graduate in reply to azharalkindi]

It's certainly a good advert to do so
