That's a decent result after curry and cobra, I reckon: I couldn't do any better! I'd be terrified of doing a Parkrun - far too many people watching me lumber round!

Yes Beccy , I'll keep away from Indian night before next one .

Rockette, you Rock!!! First in your age grade, well done.

Park Run explain it here: support.parkrun.com/hc/en-u...

Basically, they look at the world record for 5k in your age range, and then show your time as a percentage of that. It means that you can compare your time with someone of a different age... the teenagers are obv. running faster than us, but the world record for 5k is much faster for them too. Age grade is how 'good' you are for your age. And that's a great run.
