A new hazard at yesterdays Parkrun when one of those silly delivery robots came trundling along the path in the opposite direction to all the runners. With hindsight, this might have been the one opportunity I’ll get to shout out “ROBOT” as a genuine warning to people.

The great thing about group distance-running us that the only person you're trying to beat is yourself. The camaraderie between runners is superb - there's already a really positive bond between you. You may exchange glances, and go for a sprint finish, but the running is the fun, not the winning.

There are no male-born (or indeed female-born) “racers” at Parkrun, because - as every Run Director states before every run, every week - “it’s a run, not a race”. That’s the whole point: it’s not competitive, it’s inclusive.

Yesterday's global #parkrun attendance was the sixth highest ever, with yet another new national record for parkrun Italy (their fourth in five weeks).

Had a lovely visit to Central Park junior parkrun 9th anniversary event volunteering with John as marshals. Great to see everyone enjoying themselves today. Many thanks for making us so welcome. #LoveJuniorParkrun
