westmoors Aug 2019 3:06pm, 12 Aug 2019 3,459 posts	Quote Pin westmoors Not necessarily. In local races/parkruns I know who is of a similar standard to me and I judge myself against them regardless of their age and gender.
Jovi Runner Aug 2019 3:30pm, 12 Aug 2019 6,433 posts	Quote Pin Jovi Runner Raemondo - are you a troll? parkrun by definition is a weekly 5km timed run so if it wasn't timed whatv would be the point.

DocMoye Aug 2019 3:38pm, 12 Aug 2019 29,487 posts	Quote Pin DocMoye I have enormous respect for the genetically gifted and for those who get out and run despite being genetically handicapped. Some days parkrun is a race for me, some days it is not. For some it is always a race for some it is never a race but still has value for them. That may not be how it started but it is what it is now. And I'm quite certain Raemond is not a troll.
Raemond Aug 2019 3:48pm, 12 Aug 2019 2,991 posts	Quote Pin Raemond Parkrun of course is an immutable natural law, like gravity or the sanctimony of TERFs, and couldn't possibly exist in any other format or with any minor adjustments. I forgot that, how foolish of me. I thought it was a free thing made up a few years ago that people do for fun. For someone who's so adamant about others respecting how you choose to be referred to you're not terribly considerate for anyone's else's choices, are you? I am in no way surprised. I just feel very sorry for you that you can't conceive of a reason to run without needing to compel others to recognise that you've beaten them.
