Running

My 7 year old did his first 5km race today and did really well.

Ended up doing just under 31 minutes which was 6:10 mins per km...was a big hill on the course as well.

Really proud of him, plenty of my mates wouldn't be able to match that time.

That’s a strong effort for a 7 year old

Whoah... Hope he never decides to run away from home

If he does at least HB will know exactly how far he will be at any given time

Peter Bol officially exonerated. He’s been cleared over a false positive drug test.

Boy was he let down by the system.

Because my wife and I are runners my 8 year old is also keen. We've been taking him to parkruns (5km) which are great and free. He's loving it so far.

Anyway, he's been going OK...this morning though I saw a story on a 9 year old that just did a parkrun in 17:40! That's ridiculous.

Did his first 10km run yesterday and somehow managed to run the entire way. Pretty impressed with the little fella.

That's a mighty effort! Hope he got at least a midi at the end?

Ha a few years to go before that happens!

That's more 80's dad action in my experience

Same here, Dad used to be on the silver bullets back in the day, he'd always give me a sip.
