Show Notes
It's not everyday you get to sit down with someone who has started a global phenomenon so it was a honour to spend an hour chatting with Paul Sinton-Hewitt, the founder of parkrun.
In a wide ranging chat we talk about the challenges he faced in bringing to life his vision and fulfilling the promise of the idea he spawned after a suffering a serious injury.
With Matt being a parkrun event director and Paul being the founder it forced Jay to step up and experience his first ever parkrun after 13 years of running ultras! Was he converted? You'll have to listen to find out.
Thanks again to all of you for listening. If you have a moment please, like, subscribe and if you have a few seconds more, perhaps write a short review. It's all a great help to us in growing the audience and is very much appreciated!
Jay, Matt and Lewis
