Evening all,
Jam packed day today, so only just getting a chance to post this now.
2nd Park Run this morning, Strava shot attached. Official time 36.19 a new PB for PR (22nd in my age group). Not sure how they are different to Strava but I’ll be volunteering in a few weeks so will get an insight!
3rd km had a bit of a struggle with a tight calf so walked a bit which hit my pace.
Onwards and upwards!
They are different because you didn’t cross the line at the time the started the stopwatch, assuming there were more than 10 of you there. The only way of matching the times would be to hand you a chip and you hand it in at the end... that would almost certainly stop parkrun being free.
Good time though, especially if you walked a little. Enjoy your next one and volunteering. 👍
Yup, that’s it exactly. I started at the back today in a field of almost 600. It took 30 seconds just to get to the start line 😂
Yeah that makes sense - cheers!
Yes - also if you stop briefly Strava will notice. It distinguishes the total time from the 'moving time' - today it thought I was stationary for eight seconds, which I wasn't really but I was very slow at the start because of people round about so it might have paused then. It also gave me separate times for 'Montrose Parkrun' (because someone has programmed that in as a segment) and for 5k (because no one follows the optimum line exactly so by the end of parkrun you've actually covered slightly more than 5k). These four times and the official parkrun time were all within 12 seconds of each other though.
Hi Mr Lizaard, gun run!
I completed PR7 today and, in very favourable conditions, I managed to set a new PB. My local event started using a new recording system today, linked to i Phone and is supposed to be much more accurate . . . . time will tell (ha ha).
You are, I see, well into B210K. I plan to stick with 5k for a few more weeks but hope to step up from September.
Hey Julian - yeah, got to 7k on Wednesday and heading to 8k next week (after a cheeky 3k recovery on Monday)
Your times are really good! I’m going to work on pace once I hit 10k and consolidate etc during the winter.
00:27:43 - Very Happy with that. I am hoping that when (eventually) I step up to 10k, I will be able to convert that extra stamina into extra pace over the shorter distance. I hope that's how it works anyway 
Usually... with a bit of tempo work and the odd speed session.
Well done, Mitch! Great time! Good luck with this week’s 8k! 😃🏃♂️❤️
Good run! I ran yesterday so volunteered at the park run today. Looks like it’ll be a wet run in the morning. A first for me (started in April!!)
Oh, should be nice tho! I’ve never run in the rain either..... actually looking forward to it - at least the first time!
About to head out and guess what? It’s dry! 🙂?☹️? 🤔
Ha! Typical! Maybe a good thing? Lol.
How’d you get on?
Fastest 5k so far (despite a walk!). And it stayed dry!!
Hey Mitch! You are an absolute legend! Really interesting reading how the timer works.
Your time really good even with the walk. Enjoy your runs this week. I’m off on holiday this week week. Wales! It’s very hilly. Might do a short run or 2.
Cheers mate - have a good week! Those hills will do your calves the world of good! Lol. Look forward to the reports!
🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️🏴 🏴 ⛰
Ooh! Whereabouts? Enjoy your holiday and your hilly runs 😀
Just north of Cardigan - a lovely little place called Aberporth. The food is really good. Any run looking less likely! 😂😂
Well done you! Hope you stretched and rolled that calf muscle well too 
Stretched yes, I need to foam roll. I have one but scared to use it!! Lol.
Nice run LL! Well done you!! 😁😁❤️
Nice one LL 🙂
