Difficult to believe

[AlMorr]

Look at that time of 12.40 and 134.74% for that JW10 first timer at that (not ) parkrun, I am sure that is incorrect.

[SueAppleRun Graduate]

Does look a bit unbelievable

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

The official 5000 metres record is 12.35 by Joshua Cheptegel for men.

[SueAppleRun Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

A mistake for sure

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

Yes

[MontyMooDog Graduate]

Is this not a junior running 2k?

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to MontyMooDog]

Could be, but it's with the normal not parkrun page, the second runner is correct, perhaps a mistake by the girl in her enthusiasm to get her result put up, a Junior parkrun is very probable.

[RunaroundSue]

I think she clicked on the wrong parkrun, should have been the junior. Easily done if she was using a small screen on a phone

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to RunaroundSue]

Indeed, if ANYONE could run that time at a parkrun it's that man J. Cheptegel.

[59er Graduate]

Sorry, I'm not au fait with this - JW10 ? - 134.74%?

I do think that time is a mistake as well!

[runwithdog Graduate in reply to 59er]

official parkrun (pr ) speak. lol

jw10=junior female 10 year old?

the % is how well you do and they work it out on your age and gender.

if you ran 100% you would be the record holder.

a good club runner would run at 65% - 70% maybe (i stand to be corrected)

i think the 10 year old has ran a junior pr which is about 2k but recorded in the normal pr results for 5k ?

[59er Graduate in reply to runwithdog]

Thank you 🙏

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to runwithdog]

That is what has happened, still a reasonable time for a 2K for that girl.

[Newbie59 Graduate in reply to runwithdog]

Thank you for that, I do (not) Parkrun and didn't really understand what the % score meant. I think I am doing quite well for my age

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate]

JW10:Junior Women, 10, a 10 years old girl, age grading, very few runners get a age grading of over 90%, perhaps a 80 year old running sub 25 minute 5K could get that, 134%, unheard of.

[59er Graduate]

Thank you! 🙂

[Hobbler Graduate]

Maybe a tracker fail or just done it on a powered scooter😂😂😂😂

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Hobbler]

...or a racing bike, even that for a 10 year old would be a great achievement

[Raspberrypink Graduate]

Yes does look look like a mistake 😳

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Raspberrypink]

She probably pressed the wrong button on her Smartphone.

[Sybilw Graduate]

Kids do a 2k parkrun so I expect that’s what they’ve done.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Sybilw]

Sunday is the day of a normal junior parkrun, but like (not ) parkruns junior (not) parkruns can be ran any day of the week.

[roseabi]

Oops! Have you emailed Victoria parkrun about it? I'm sure they'd want to set it straight 😊😊😊

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to roseabi]

I looked up Victoria Parkrun just to see how the runners got on because I USED to live near that park when I was a child a few years ago, ha, no, it was in the 1950's when I was a child that my father took me walks around that park, I would for old times sake like to have ran a official parkrun there but it is too far to get to from where I live now.

I suppose I could email Victoria Parkrun about that wrong time of 134% age grading and time of that 10 year old.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

PS, I have now emailed them

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate]

It was a junior 2K (not) parkrun.
