1st Parkrun in Years

I attended my first Parkrun in years, and clocked up 5km for the world record by endtoend.run (if I can only work out how to upload the required proof to their system). Discovered that a local poet was handing out the finish tokens: google.co.uk/amp/s/www.gedl...

Hooray for Parkruns and Poets!

Congratulations on completing your first 5k Parkrun for years, I hope you enjoyed the run, I am not sure how you can upload proof of your end to end run, perhaps some one will advise you about that, usually it means going to settings on your computer or Smartphone, tap or click the icon, that then appears on settings and then send.

Well done Baddie. Glad you enjoyed the Park Run - i have yet to do one. I uploaded last night but it took a while as the server was inundated. Might be quieter now?

Really? Well that's exciting (but frustrating if you're trying to upload results...) - must be loads of people taking part.

Well done Baddie! I’m having similar issues uploading my run - I keep getting the timed out message. 🙄

So glad you’re back to PR! Really well done! 🥰

Ah yes, I remember you said maybe caused by overdoing it with the kettlebells. Any improvement yet?

Yeah it stopped hurting after a couple of days but I just wanted to make sure - any excuse to avoid exercise really 🤣
