2nd junior parkrun with 4 yr old grandson today. We started off together but after wee while I really felt I was holding him back so let him run on by himself for middle bit as its a loop. No way I could have kept up that pace. So waited for him and we ran the last bit together. But he had to go so much slower although did manage a super sprint at the end- I know cos I could see his dust cloud in the distance! Last week we ran all of it together but at my slower plodding pace. Guess what though--- both weeks were near enough the same time. So just goes to show us tortoises are not that slow after all. Cooled down after in water fountains which shoot out of the ground . Great fun

Sounds like a great run to me I did a 5k with my daughter (she's 5) a few months ago & it was fantastic!
