Inadvertently ran into my local park run, who knew! Some of those guys can shift but some took walk breaks, I never 25 minutes done ✅

Lots of encouragement from the marshalls, felt a wee bit of a fraud! Had a chat with one of them at the end, maybe give park run a go once I’ve graduated.

Everyone regardless of ability are welcome. one time I even saw a blind runner just chugging along at the tail with her co-runner.

Great job... how are you even considering yourself a fraud there? 25 minutes run, that’s a big milestone. Glad you had fun, and it’s no fluke, they’re that supportive every week. Well done.

Park run I think once I’ve graduated 💪🏻💪🏻

Why wait! Do run 3 in the ParkRun and keep going whatever you’re able.

Not what you're looking for?
