Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

It's been a long time since I've fake parkrunned - a serious dose of cba in July/August and then run the sum is my focus this month. Run the sum was 10k this morning so I could split that into a 5k warmup in 27:20 and a 5k fake pr in 26:08, but I feel that would be cheating.
Once run the sum is finished i want to get back into fake parkrun to test where I am with my running

Inaugural Bonnyfield parkrun at the Bonnyfield Local Nature Reserve, Bonnybridge. Course is largely between the Vale of Bonnyview and the Bonny Water. First finisher of two :-) in 35.19. A pleasant if unspectacular rolling course, surprisingly remote feeling, 80% hard trail, 20% tarmac.

I’m still working on finding the hilliest 5K / 3.1 miles ‘Parkrun’ from home. Tonight for the first time I cracked 700 feet but I ended up short at 2.87 miles :-(

Adding a bit of distance is easy because I’d fine tuned the route for shortness but don’t know if I can realistically get any more ascent

Good thread, Sigh.

I had an unusual one today. I was running 6 miles as part of run the sum and started the (not)parkrun at the 1.5 mile mark and finished at 4.62 miles.

Hello
Not sure if this counts as a fake parkrun but Saturday morning was a effort session 3 sets of 600,600,400 metres with 45 seconds rest between each effort and 3 mins rest between each set. Fetch has me going through 5k at 23:59 so will claim that as this weeks fakey

I did my fake parkrun as a 10K virtual race! Went through the first 5K (far too hard) in 21:00 the next one was 40secs slower!
