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!

I think you won't be able to go gold and be eligible for a bet until you do the extra run. But if you did your fast run you'd have to beat that one next time out.

I struggled today at parkrun feeling very heavy legged. I started near the front and got passed by lots of quicker runners then tried to hold on. I looked at my watch after the finish line and it was short of 5k!😲 So I had to grab my token and run into the park until it was definitely over 5k.

Success! I beat my last benchmark time, by 35 secs for 5k and 4 seconds for the mile. Win - win :-)

Telford parkrun is good for a fast mile as it starts (mostly) downhill!

It took a few seconds to clear the crowds at the start so I made sure to push on beyond the 1.6km mark a bit. Then it was a case of hanging on (and dreading the inevitable uphill!)

I would have earned punters a fair bit on 5k too, but for the fact that a) I don’t have enough 5k runs on the board, and b) I measured a fraction short :-)

I'll run a 1 mile warm up and log it tomorrow after work to get those that have bet on me some returns... hopefully!
