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!

Just spotted this thread too. Have a parkrun PB of 18:09 at Hull last year, and a 5000m track PB of 17:59 (just) from earlier in the year. My focus is currently firmly on marathon training, but I would hope to be able to 'comfortably' break through the 18m barrier more frequently soon...

Not sure? I've pre-entered, and don't enter on the day as a rule.

Suspect this will be the busiest of the four...

HappyG - I ran my best 5km(16.16) while training for the World 100km.

So why don't you do quick stuff :¬) ?

Every time I write 16.16 I realise exactly how much performance I have lost thanks to spending most of the last 3 years injured. On the plus side my cycling is going very well :¬)

Thought I'd just stick my head in here. A bit of a cheek ? Quite possibly, my best 5k this year, so far, is a mere 20-44. However as recently as 2009 I was regularly running 18-xx so it's not an impossible ask. Especially given my first parkrun of 2012 was 32-19 after an injury.
