I'd never heard of p-index until just now, and went down a rabbit hole looking at the map showing event locations. It's definitely going to be something where the challenge level varies enormously with your home location. |

I'm one run at each of Ruchill, Pollok and Dunfermline from P-10. Then a theoretical further nine runs from 11; And then twelve more to 12. So I could have P-12 by year-end. Not that I'm going to chase it, that would be madness  But couple of runs where I'm now on 6 are fairly recent and accessible, so their numbers will rise organically.

4, and one more weekend visit to my dad could take it up to 5. I have a lot of local runs, though, where I live it would be very straightforward to reach 4 travelling only by bike, leaving no later than 815, and attending first time briefings.

It's a lot easier for me in Central Scotland than for someone in, say, Thurso. Or on one of the islands! (And within that, easier in the west than the east.) On a highly theoretical bicycling P-index, a reasonably keen cyclist living in Central Glasgow could get to 12. It would need an exceptionally applied Central Edinburgh cyclist to do that. |

6, I think a visit to Maidenhead or Bracknell would get me to 7 so no excuse not to do that soon! 8 seems a long way off though?

For those wondering to see how many events where that they've done: if you click on your name in a parkrun results page, that takes you a page with all your runs at that event. Then click on "summary stats for this parkrunner". The next page lists your last ten parkruns, and below that, all the events you have done and the number of times at each (initially in most > least order). Alternatively, use the link parkrun.org.uk parkrun number] |
