GUEST Tom Williams COO parkrun Global // Getting kids active // Running Guru Show

Getting kids outside and active is obviously a good thing. We live in a society where childhood obesity is at an all-time high and studies suggest too much television time may contribute to behaviour problems, poor grades, and even depression later in life.

But are the physical and mental demands of long-distance running safe for children? At what age is competition appropriate, and what do parents need to keep in mind?

Todays guest, Tom Williams COO Parkrun Global talks about how getting kids to participate in community runs, like parkrun is a great idea and has worked for many years help children and their parents to be more active.
