New world record for park run 😮

[SweatyHettie]

This just popped up on my news feed. Unbelievable! A nine year old boy has set a WR for park run for his age …17:40!! 😱

Not sure if this link works but I’ll give it a try

It works better if you remove the Googleification (the .amp bit) from the end of the link: bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cmj...

Thanks I’ve edited and copied your link now but not sure if it’s right.!For some reason I couldn’t find a direct share from the news page itself 🤔

I find that little kids are often quite fast, but they can rarely keep it up for the full distance.

I see quite a few on mine both boys and girls sadly usually being shouted at by over enthusiastic dads and not allowed to stop or slow down . I do wonder how many of them grow up to hate exercise because it’s something they were forced to do …

I think that is true of lots of sports sadly.

and not just sports-I have an unnecessarily deep aversion to Shakespeare from having had to read his plays in class aloud in the most dull and dreary way.
