I'm a Coyote, and a frustrated one at that. My qualifying WAVAs are 61, 64 and 65 so if only I could improve on that 61 I'd feel a lot happier!

If I use a parkrun and a virtual mile, then my one real race in Nov (10 mile) will give me a standard. Is that reasonable or is using parkrun and virtual miles dodgy?

Not dodgy at all TR. Both are legit in my view.

No, I don’t think it’s dodgy either TR. I like using the race standards to get an idea how I’m doing from year to year and parkruns and virtual are useful for that. Particularly as I do a good proportion of trail races so no good in WAVA terms.

If you can't use parkruns then I've only got one race this year :)

Why wouldn’t you use parkruns?

Can't think of any good reason!

I don't have 3 races in past 12 months. One of the two was a difficult trail so not very helpful anyway.

Just need to step up in 2024.

I am a zebra (55). I have 2 Bronze (60) results at mile & 5k and annoyingly my “favourite” distance of a half is the worst of the lot. (And had an even worse one yesterday)

And park runs definitely count :D
