Are you ready to be happier and healthier? So are we. Inside the latest edition of parkrun magazine, you’ll find loads of ideas, from games to play in the park to tips to make new habits stick.

In issue five of parkrun magazine, we have a chat with This Morning ’s Ben Shephard, who tells us all about his own wellbeing strategies, as well as sharing his passion for being active. We also find out more about the new kinds of running clubs emerging in the UK – clubs that aren’t about tracks and cross-country but instead focus on inclusivity and making new friends.

We’re also thinking more about what parkrun stands for as a charity – helping everyone to live healthier and happier lives – and how you can help us to reach out to even more individuals. With more and more people growing up with parkrun, we have a look at the ways parkrun can go hand-in-hand with family life.

Have you ever heard of breathwork? We’ve spoken to a breath coach who has loads of advice for using breathing to de-stress. Elsewhere on the pages, you’ll find some ideas for games to play in safe open spaces, and details of an organisation that’s getting communities together to join in fun outdoor activities.

And finally, if you’re just learning to cook – or maybe you fancy yourself as the next Masterchef! – we’ve got some excellent hacks to up your kitchen game.
