How parkrun helped amputee Paul Webber regain his fitness and make new friends

When Paul Webber attended his first parkrun roughly 12 months ago, he went with no expectations of completing the 5km course. His story may sound like that of any other parkrun enthusiast who enjoys their Saturday morning run or walk, but Webber's story is incredible when you consider he's doing it all with just one leg, having lost his right leg in a motorcycle accident 37 years ago. "I knew where the start line was and staggered down one Saturday morning with Holly," Paul said. "They play up like everybody else's do, but other people have two of each, whereas I only have one to deal with." "I was trying to get under an hour for a while, and at the start I was getting 10 minutes quicker nearly every week," he said.
