Parkrun

Last week we had 600 odd, which was the 2nd highest turnout I can remember.

Just looked up today’s field, 473, that’s still pretty high for us.

Looks like there is actually a dip in the summer, maybe holidays and the like, winter numbers impacted by cancellations, but the general trend is just up.

I think numbers were high on NYD but a bit lower last weekend because of cancellations again, but general trend seems to be upwards.

Ticked off my 700th parkrun yesterday. Happy with a time of 20:30 - and when chatting to a friend afterwards he asked what my average time is. A quick check of the 5K app on my phone and it said 20:36. So in nearly 18 years of doing them I’m still hanging on in there. I’ve had my best ever age grade during the past year as that’s the only number that I can hope to improve on.

Oh, the organisers have this week set up a “PB bell” for after the finish. I can’t see myself ever making use of that. :joy:

You are in a small group on here, although it doesn’t include yesterday so not in the 700’s yet.
