Step aside Scott Jurek - I have a new running hero (and he’s 95)

[Gabby08]

For anyone needing a bit of runspiration, I did Seaton parkrun in Devon today as I’m visiting my dad and it’s his nearest. It was blooming hard work because part of the route is on the pebble beach - but that didn’t stop one amazing 95-year-young man from completing it in celebration of his birthday. He’s my new running hero and just the inspiration I needed as I struggle to return from injury, as well as further testament to the glorious inclusivity of parkrun 💕

The smile on his face said it all. And he only looked about 65! *Note to self: must keep running...

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Gabby08]

Definitely.. it keeps us young I have to keep reminding myself I am 68

[Gabby08 Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

And I’ll bet you don’t look a day over 30! You’re a spring chicken, Oldfloss (Youngfloss?)

That is just unbelievable and so inspiritational.🌟💫💫

Yes go you also.🌟👏👏

Can you find out who supplies his water, or what are his secrets.🤔👏👏

I remember when they asked the oldest Italian lady recently, her secret, I think she said , 3 eggs a day , 2 raw and 1 boiled. 🤔

She did not do parkruns and was maybe 15 + years older.🤔
