I work in gas turbine generation and told a customer that his equipment must have been built on an ancient burial ground and by the problems that he has had that he might want to get a blessing for it. He had been having random shutdowns and trips for many days. ( it was really probably down to the mountains and lightning TBH)

I started doing ParkRuns after I finished the couch25K as a way of keeping me engaged in running. I work away from home so not always possible as there are fewer in Europe but I still manage to get some good ones in. It’s not a race and all abilities go and everyone’s really friendly there are the fast ones and PB’s and thats fun too. Finally I use it as my routine timed run to see how I’m doing, I’m off to do one in a new place today too.

The best advice I ever got was just run slow to start with and remember rest days are important.

I seem to remember using this as an excuse for years. I can’t run I’ve got bad knees. Turns out running had actually been quite good at rebuilding strength and haven’t had many problems in the last 2 years! I did start at 56 years old and have lost 30kgs in the process so that might have helped!
