Regular readers will know that I’m addicted to Parkrun. Every Saturday morning I possibly can, I’m running 3 miles (or 5k if you’re modern) around the park, usually with my daughter, teenage son and husband in tow.

A few weeks ago, while I was away at the MAD Blog Awards, my husband managed to convince both boys to join him and my daughter on the Parkrun. Ever since, I’ve been trying to persuade them both to join us again. While my eldest had done a couple of runs, alternately encouraging daughter to […]

It has taken four years for my son to reach his 50th parkrun. Read about his journey and how parkrun helped him recover from injury.
50 Parkruns is the first milestone Parkrun for adults (kids also hit a milestone at 10 Parkruns and all my kids have got their 10 Tshirt). It is marked by earning a red Parkrun 50 Tshirt and, at our Parkrun at least, you get your name read out by the run director and a round […]
