Hi Forest Fitness family, I have a personal thank you to you all for helping me "the slowest runner" to increase my level of fitness. With your help, support, inspiration and coaching within a positive friendly atmosphere. Many of you are aware I qualified for the 200m Backstroke at the British Masters Championships held this weekend at the Olympic Pool London. I finished 5th with a new PB and very proud of it. The 1st & 2nd broke the British and European records so I was in good company. Also took 1 min 1sec off my season best park run at Hackney Marshes. So had great weekend. I very emotional writing this. Alot of my improvement is being part of Forest Fitness family. So Thank you all so much from an old man who thought he could not complete at this level again. It is very emotional.

🏃🏼‍♀️🏃‍♂️ Happy Global Running Day! 🏃🏻‍♂️‍➡️🏃🏽‍♀️‍➡️
