Interesting to hear from the creator. He needs to work on his footfall too 😂

I know this is probably a joke, but it does illustrate why some people run on treadmills in their garages or at 5am, and would not go near parkrun lest they be judged.

You’d like someone to tell you if you were risking injury though right?

I was surprised to see this footfall in a such an established runner.

I didn’t judge the guy... if I were to do that I’d say he was amazing... he created the tools that enabled millions to extend their life expectancy.

What I realised though when I was at my highest weight is that some people judged me whatever I did. They probably still do now... I get judged on hair length, musical tastes, accent, shape... it’s just the way it is, nothing can change that. I could only turn off my giving a *^%#. Parkrun is probably the least judgmental environment I’ve ever put myself into, it is amazing to experience.
