Does 5+5=10?

[Yesletsgo]

Purely theoretical question:

Suppose I get up a bit earlier tomorrow and run 5k then carry on and run the Parkrun (obviously I'd have to stop and hang around for about 10 minutes for the briefing etc) would this count as a 10k?

As I say, purely theoretical as I'm rubbish in the morning and struggle to get to the park for 9am on the best of mornings 😂

I would call that 10k 👍🏼

OK, at the London Marathon some runners get married about half way round, still count that pause as a short rest then continue as husband and wife running the rest of the marathon.

Luckily I'm already married so that's another good reason not to attempt a marathon 😂

I’d call it a 10k 😀

[Instructor57 Graduate10]

I would say it's 2x5k with a rest in between

It's advanced Jeffing with a 10 minute "walk" period between two 5kms. 🤣

On Monday I did a trail run with some pauses of a few minutes here and there to get my bearings. I still count it as a 10km run.

Thanks everyone, in the event I didn't wake up until 8.10 so barely reached the start on time, let alone running 5k beforehand 😂A woman can dream (and obviously I did or I'd have got up earlier!)

Unless somehow the Parkrun course gets closed down, run it again afterwards.
