He poodled round in 55 mins with his dad and his grandad, who runs in the 90-94 category!
I don’t think there’s anything that examples Parkrun better than that. The Olympic Triathlon champion jogging round 809th out of 821 with his grandad at Bromley

I had no idea about that. Just saw a pic of him on a connections strava run. As you say, nothing examples park run better than that, or running in general.
Our usual Shorne Woods but with both grandsons plus daughter who completed 1 of 3 laps for her first attempt. Next was a rush home and 50mins for 4 showers and toast before leaving for The Valley.
At least you were very clean before arriving at the Valley even if 4 showers seems a bit obsessive.
I run 5k nearly every saturday but not as part of a park run, out of interest what drives people to run at a specific time with loads of others? Is it getting a recorded time, for the camaraderie or a pleasant push to get it done or what?

Yes, to all of those reasons plus the occasional bacon sandwich afterwards.

More seats than usual near me were occupied so the 4 showers must have worked !
Went for my first run in about 9 months yesterday - have had a stint of post-viral fatigue, seemingly triggered by a jog, after a bout of covid last summer. Have been easing back into activity very gently for a few months but hadn't crossed the psychological barrier of running again until now.
Touch wood seem to have been fine since, and just as I was finishing my very slow 2km I got a booming COME ON YOU ADDIIIIIIIIIICKS from a passing car (was in the yellow mesh shirt). Put a big smile on my face!

Well done mate. Gotta start somewhere and sounds like you smashed it. You’ll be up to 5k in a few weeks 👍
