Sigh Jun 2024 7:40pm, 16 Jun 2024 26,900 posts	Sigh I do remember them, fondly! I reached peak fitness going into lockdown, and then improved further. I ran my parkrun PB in December '19, 5 mile PB in Feb '20, and HM PB in Sept '20 - all at live races, too. Happy days.

Following the return of real live parkruns, this thread has naturally lost interest; I'm glad it's been here to help folks during the dark days of lockdown.

I've listed them up until 30 October '21, if you would like me to list more then please fmail me and I'll get right onto it.

Listing for 30 Oct '21 (for ease of reference):
