Jason started running at 48, just to keep in touch with some mates — and now he’s done over 110 different parkruns across Australia and the UK. We met at Seaton parkrun (pebbles, pain, and a lovely sea breeze), and caught up after his run.

We talk about getting into running later in life, half marathons that “just sort of happened,” the joy of parkrun tourism, and why sometimes your best pace is “just finishing.”

Apologies for the slight audio echo in places — but it’s a fun, thoughtful conversation with a runner who’s covered a lot of ground, literally.
