HappyG(rrr) Nov 2022 4:09pm, 21 Nov 2022 44,682 posts	Quote Pin HappyG(rrr) Feature Request 1523 Submitted by SpartanMyth THIS FEATURE IS NOW CLOSED GPS records of my weekly parkruns often clock in at just under 5km, so don't count against my site PBs. Could races within say 1% of 5k / 10k /etc be "rounded up" for this purpose? (Perhaps with a couple of seconds added to avoid abuse?) HappyG(rrr) says: Or is another way of doing this to honour both GPS training AND race manually entered distance and times and take the race one as "gold" standard (trusting the runner to have entered it correctly of course!) G Fetch Says If you add the parkrun to your race list, and enter your time there, it appears in your benchmarks. That's a good one. Thanks Fetch. And SpartanMyth for suggesting it. I wonder if it applies to all distances or just 5km? I could find out simply by making up a 35 minute 10km result for myself. Hmm. G
