I took an 82 year old to parkrun - Dover

👕 JOG ON running kit as seen in the videos: www.thisisjogon.com/shop 🧡
At the age of 80, Richard Brisley began running. I invited Richard to run a 5K with me. We attended Dover parkrun in England to try and run under 40 minutes. This SUB 40 5K attempt was great to be a part of. Thank you to all the volunteers and those that were there that day. 🧡

To watch the full JOG ON Podcast episode with Richard and hear more about his incredible story: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3eVgoN6h99_hJYsi=NYOYfKRkacGbaqZF Thank you 🧡

[@fgomez209]

If I could choose between breaking a record now or running at 8 minutes per kilometer when I'm 82 years old, I would choose the latter.

[@AVS_uk]

Damn good point

[@ryanwilliams4270]

My first run ever I was an overweight and inactive 23-year-old. I lost a 2-mile race to an 81-year-old. I was looking at his back the entire time, hit the gas at the last 400 and I could not catch the man, he walked away from me. Inspired me for the rest of my life. Now at 37, I'm running a 20min 5k at 95kg.

[@thisisjogon]

Thank you for sharing

[@Mooza1]

Was cheering for Richard alone in my home lol. Go go go you legend

[@thisisjogon]

Love it

[@mrsensei8878]

Edwin indeed is a legend too.

[@thisisjogon]

He is

[@christine6878]

Fantastic what stars Richard and Edwin are!

[@thisisjogon]

Absolutely

[@davidjuson5608]

Fabulous! I thought I was doing well when I began jogging at 64, but that was inspirational. Thank you Harry, once again.

[@thisisjogon]

Thank you Dave, wishing you all the best

[@kathrynl1503]

What a legend Richard is! Thank you for highlighting his awesome running. It's been a delight to run with him on several occasions over the last year. Also hooray for Judy's PB on the same day!

[@turkeysandwich001]

I like my steak with salt and pepper and my running videos with smile and tears…watching this after a steak dinner…well done to Richard…my man!!!!

[@gmicallef1]

Fantastic story and storytelling. Never to old to be running. Great video Harry ❤

[@thisisjogon]

Cheers Graham

[@rhydianhooper8386]

Wow! Absolute legend and inspiration, well done Richard (and Edwin) 🎉 👏

[@fenlandwildlifeclips]

I recently re-completed 2c5k after surgery. I'm 44. I can't run that fast. Richard is inspirational.

[@phillipaaldridge5048]

Absolutely amazing!!! I want to be running at 82 hitting those times. What a legend. So inspired!!

[@thisisjogon]

Don’t we all

[@coco_bold]

Once again a very emotional video, The Jog on family proves us once again that no matter the age, there is always a goal we can attain with the help of friends, and find joy in running. Congratulations to Richard. Thanks again Harry.

[@ZeldaFitz]

My mum is the same age as Richard, she’s in good shape for her age walks everywhere, line-dancing, palates and a bit of badminton. It’s never dawned on me to see if she would like a crack at Parkrun, I’m definitely going to mention it to her.

[@kathrynflannery2889]

Now, that was inspiring! 🎉🎉 Golly, I was just pleased to run 3.19 km in my neighbourhood the other day. Took me 30 minutes! 😂😂 but, I didn't stop, and I haven't run/jogged for a while. I'm a frumpy 53-year-old mum with flab to shift!😂

[@thisisjogon]

Wishing you well on your running journey

[@ClancySullivan]

Harry, this was so fantastic. I started crying when you passed Richard’s family for the first time and I thought I was a goner until that kid fell (complete with sound effects) I laughed so hard! You have such an aptitude for great storytelling. What an achievement for Richard, I’m glad you captured it, and that he was able to share the moment with you and his family (and then with us!).

[@timlicence94]

I love this! Supurb demonstration of the JogOn community spirit. Richard is a legend

[@thisisjogon]

Thank you Tim - it was great to run with Richard. Hope that you’re having a good Friday

[@louxloux59]

What an inspiration! 🤩 Keeping jogging on Richard 😃

[@thisisjogon]

Keep jogging on

[@c93ditto]

As soon as he saw his family he found his second wind. Beautiful video!

[@thisisjogon]

The much needed push

[@Littlejoys24]

Fabulous video Harry. I hope we’ll all be running in orange until we’re Richard’s age! 🧡

[@thisisjogon]

Here's hoping

[@jonl2938]

Amazing! We’ve got a local legend here planning a marathon for his 80th birthday next year. I love the diversity of athletes at Parkrun!

[@thisisjogon]

Amazing

[@thebuttonmushroom]

That was me (Cheryl) who said “Love the videos”, and I loved this one too! Well done, Richard! Fantastic achievement! I was surprised to see you down in Dover, Harry, as I’m Hampshire based and have spotted you at races around here but that morning I was going to Belgium and just had to get my parkrun fix in first!

[@thisisjogon]

It was great to briefly meet you Cheryl

[@johnevans187]

Congratulations, Richard!! 🎉 You are an inspiration to us all! Thank you, Harry, for all you do for the running community. I live in the U.S.A. and can feel your energy all the way over here!

[@thisisjogon]

Hello U.S.A big love from the UK

[@christinaclementson]

Oh my goodness I love Richard! What a lovely man. Thanks for making this wonderful heartwarming video Harry. ❤

[@thisisjogon]

Thank you Christina

[@intomlinson]

Was great to have you and Richard with us that day Harry!

[@30somethingmike]

What an inspiration! I hope I can still run 8 min km at 82. Well done Richard and Harry 🧡

[@kerrypowell38]

Richard is the most wonderful chap! 🧡 Very honoured to be his friend 🧡

[@thisisjogon]

Thanks Kerry

[@trevorlangridge]

What an inspiration Richard is! At 72 myself this is what I need to keep putting in the training as it can be a bit daunting watching all the other videos on KZbin that show the whizzy youngsters. Great video, thanks!

[@thisisjogon]

He is indeed. Thank you for taking the time to watch Trevor

[@Stevenc1984]

I'd love to still be running at 82, well done Richard!

[@TheRugbyCuber-vp2kn]

Richard is my new favourite person. Great video Harry!

[@thisisjogon]

Cheers for watching 🙏

[@grantmckay7014]

Absolutely brilliant. Keep the inspirations coming Harry. You brings so much joy in sharing these stories.

[@thisisjogon]

Glad you enjoy them

[@Theleasinoz]

Brilliant, respect to Richard, a legend!

[@rhihar]

Such an inspiration! Richard looks so fit and healthy, truly a testament to how good running is for you.

[@thisisjogon]

Thank you

[@dash7148]

This is brilliant…and I’m still grinning writing this because Richard achieved his target…well done too H 👍🏻

[@thisisjogon]

Thank you 🧡

[@Antonnick]

Harry; you mentioned that this video was coming and what an inspiration it is! I have on Sunday 21 Apr '24 a 5km "volkslauf" and after 4 months of training @ 80 to 90km a month, am hoping for a good time ,commensurate with my 73 years.

[@thisisjogon]

Superb, well done and have a great run Sunday

[@Antonnick]

@@thisisjogon After a drive through freshly fallen snow to get there, clocked a respectable 27:06 for the 5K in Gießen. Armed with the advice to start slowly, where I was overtaken left right and centre, got my own back after km 2 passing one after another until I reached an older looking bloke in front. ca. 300m before the finish, managed to sprint past him and one other . Turned out that he was my only competitor in the M70 group so I won! Overall position 42. pleased with that . Thanks for the inspiration.

[@isaacb3048]

Keep the vids coming pls

[@thisisjogon]

The stories shall flow

[@kokorunning]

Awesome video Harry. My wife and I love watching your videos and we always think it's a shame you don't post more regularly as you are putting out such great stories and messages (although we also appreciate the time it takes). What you must do for people's fitness and mental health, it would be cool if the NHS partnered with you and recommended your videos as a starting point for people's first steps towards being healthy, both physically and mentally. Again, great work mate.

[@thisisjogon]

thank you

[@TomRothwell]

What a legend, love it!

[@thisisjogon]

Legend comment

[@bruceb372]

Well done Richard and Harry. I’m 70, runner for 4 years, and my best 5k is just sub 42 minutes. My goal is to break 40 minutes. I live in Houston so I’ll have to wait for next winter with a temperature under 45 degF. Any higher and I sweat too much and slow down. I love running and getting in the groove. Feels great when that happens.

[@thisisjogon]

Awesome Bruce, thanks for sharing and all the best to you and your running journey

[@mikestevenson1334]

Loved this. Richard, you legend. The rocket boosters at the end was impressive! Great achievement =D JOG ON! Shoutout to Edwin, the quiet legend :)

[@thisisjogon]

We all need Richard Rocket Boosters

[@vikkijousiffe5471]

So wholesome ☺️🧡🧡

[@thisisjogon]

Thanks Vikki

[@chrisj8764]

Ha ha - I have just started running at 68 and did my first 5K since my twenties yesterday, taking 34 mins 30 seconds, which would apparently be slower than 98% of male runners, though slower than 77% of runners my age; well, we have to start somewhere! Good on Richard! - hope I can do it at 82 if I reach that age!

[@thisisjogon]

🙏🏼

[@RunningEmmaMx-rm8ix]

Woohoooo!! Well done Richard, absolute LEGEND 🎉🧡

[@markcameron3]

Awesome running and great video, it's a shame these new parkrun rules mean people like this can't strive for route records now

[@thisisjogon]

🥇

[@CerysD33]

This video is so lovely. Had me in tears! Well Done Richard!!

[@RuairiOTuathail]

What I love about these kind of people is that they look so young and full of life. He found his Ikigai 👏

[@user-sz4kl7cw9s]

That was rather emotional. What a legend.

[@WillHughes2000]

Richard continues to inspire all of us, great video Harry!

[@thisisjogon]

Thanks Will

Great video Harry. Top tier content as always! Thanks for showing us all sides to the running community. Keep up the excellent work!

[@thisisjogon]

Appreciate you

[@paularunslondon]

I love that you support everyone of all ages and all levels. Some running channels can feel like they’re only showing runs that are out of my reach, but ones like this show me anything is possible ❤

[@imnottellingu1]

So inspiring! I love how supportive the parkrun and jog on community is

[@janetpaul8029]

Just watched this vlog. Loved it and subscribed to your channel. I will be 70 next birthday and have been running since age 31 so i understand setting new goals as we age. How may i get an orange Jog On shirt?

[@thisisjogon]

Hello - all the JOG ON kit (including the top) is available on the website: www.thisisjogon.com/shop Thank you for watching and taking an interest in my videos, it means a lot Harry

[@janetpaul8029]

Ok thanks. Finally... a running channel that we mid and back-of- the-packers can relate to!❤

[@Matthewgroutuk]

Good video

[@thisisjogon]

Good comment

[@ianpyatt6571]

Shame I didnt know about this as this is my local park run could've had my jog on sock on to join you 😁

[@thisisjogon]

You never know when orange spirit will strike

[@clivewitcomb2839]

Will there be Team Edwin shirt merch coming soon? x

[@thisisjogon]

If there was, we’d probably sell more than the JOG ON top itself #TeamEdwin

[@MrJack654]

OMG I nearly didnt recognise you, You shaved!

[@thisisjogon]

Fear not, the beard will return

[@droy333]

He's been running longer than me.

[@thisisjogon]

We often mention them but it can take a keen eyed follower of the JOG ON social channels to spot the briefest of mentions

[@Piper_Runs-ox5sp]

I wish I was a pacer

[@thisisjogon]

You can be if you want to
