Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

It’s great that you can run all of parkrun @GeneHunt59. 5k is a difficult distance in that it can be hard to pace. There’s not much room for error - it’s easy to set off a bit quick.

I jeffed 8 miles this week (30:30) and felt like I could have kept going, which is huge progress for me. Other recent longer runs have been more walking than running due to hills or bogs or both! That’s my longest run since October ‘22.

Yeah, good going GeneH. One day I hope to be somewhere near that sort of effort, but it's a big hope!!
Being able to have felt you could keep going is exactly how long distance should be GimmeMedals. That's a fine session you did .

I did Market Drayton 10K on Sunday. It was hot! Started at 60:30 and managed that for most of the first 5k and then changed to 30:30 for the second half. Finished in 1:09:19 so I’m happy with that given the heat on the day.

Excellent lin50. Shows that you are able to manage heat ok and be disciplined in a race.

Got something to say?
