A stop start run for me today at Sandhurst as I thought best to ask marshals to look out for a couple of under 11 lads who were running alone. I was still a bit quicker than last week, so that was good. Mum did her 90th parkrun and was over 5 mins quicker than last week and was really pleased with her improvement.

Very busy at Storeys, results a bit messy and not helped by strava wankers running up and down the funnel until their watch reads exactly 5km. I despair sometimes!

I’m just heading home after a lovely few days in The Hague and a fab (though cold) time at zuiderpark this morning. A lovely city and parkrun and very easy to do, would definitely recommend

If they are a Fetch horse I've bet on for 5k it's entirely legitimate behaviour. Otherwise it's wankery ;)

lol. @HellsBells someone went marching up the funnel passing finishers, got firmly sent back (possibly by a grumpy badger), then appeared to go out of the far end to rejoin the runners, so heaven knows what he did for things.
