Hetan doesn’t call himself a runner — but with almost 250 parkruns under his belt, I’d disagree.

He started before COVID with Couch to 5K, and now rarely misses a Saturday. We talk about his proudest moment (a surprise PB at Bushey Park’s 1000th!), tourism challenges, why he listens to podcasts when he runs, and how parkrun became a weekly ritual for him and his wife.

This is a gentle, honest chat with someone who just keeps showing up — and found clarity, consistency, and community along the way.
