From first 5Ks to marathon memories, mental health to mid-run music choices, we talk honestly about the highs, lows, and everything in between. Whether you’re training hard, running slow, or just thinking about lacing up—these are real voices from real runners, usually recorded just after Parkrun while the sweat (and endorphins) are still fresh.
Because everyone’s running story is worth telling.
At 75, Sarah’s still lacing up every Saturday — and she’s been doing it since the very first Weymouth parkrun back in 2013.
In this chat, she talks about:
How her daughter inspired her to start running
The community spirit that keeps her coming back
Why she loves the seaside course (except when it’s windy)
What’s still on her 2013 iPod
And why her husband’s is part of parkrun legend at The Pineapple
This episode is a reminder that running isn’t about PBs — it’s about people, persistence, and turning up.
