In this episode we review the book 'How parkrun changed our lives' by Eileen Jones.
Jak and Char welcome Bookhounds members and parkrun addicts Egg and Jo to the virtual studio to chat about parkrun tourism, what we do with our stats and why it's so much more than just a 5km run.
About the book:
It’s been hailed as the greatest public health initiative of our time; a social movement for the common good; and even a new religion.
Eileen Jones set out to find why so many people love parkrun, and why almost seven million worldwide have signed up to take part in the weekly event. In her journey around the UK she visited many of the 730 parkrun venues, and talked to people who explained how a 5k run on a Saturday morning had changed their lives.
