Privileged to run at Guild parkrun this morning: a muddy hill on a 6 lapper reminded me how unfit I am but finished in 6th which I think is my highest spot, so I'll take that! Great to see a good group of service users enjoying the event and the post parkrun chat 😀 #parkrun

I'm definitely a fan, especially as every marathon seems to get less training than the last and increasing age brings nagging injuries. Jeffing means the walks are part of the plan, rather than head-down moments of defeat. Roll on marathon #18 in Rome #running #marathonrunner #jeffing

If I'd realised it was my parkrun anniversary today, maybe I'd have sought out a parkrun that wasn't cancelled! @lythamhallparkrun.bsky.social and parkrun generally has brought me much joy in the last 11 years ❤️ Thank you @pauls-h.bsky.social for such an amazing concept 🙏
