Pt 1: Is This the Most Positive Running Movement in the World? Inside Parkrun with Founder Paul Sinton-Hewitt CBE

Paul Sinton-Hewitt CBE is the founder of parkrun. Parkrun began in 2004 with just 13 runners, and has since turned into a worldwide phenomenon with over 10 million runners across multiple continents!


Running has so many physical and mental benefits, but it also has the ability to forge friendships and create communities you never thought possible.


In part one, Paul joins Dr Alex George to discuss the story behind parkrun, how the cultural movement of running has changed in the past five years and why regularly running with others has the power to change your life.


Plus, Paul shares why you should never compare yourself to other runners and reveals the surprising backlash parkrun received when it first launched…
