I log them as races as 97% of the time I race them. I can be precise as I have run 2 as tempos and one as MP and I am on 100 so the maths is easy !

I think there is a pr setting you can use and you could pick whatever category applies to the way you run them, but for me they are races with a purpose and I want them in the race history & log as such

There's a parkrun category at the end of the list of run categories

Er, Run - parkrun?

Record by 14 at Falkirk with 349. Previous record was 7th anniversary last July. Only got parked as drivers were turning round rather than park in a puddle

I log them as whatever I am treating the run as. Race/time-trial/tempo/easy. I try not to use the "parkrun" category as it doesn't indicate anything about the run.

It’s easy to miss the parkrun category as it’s quite far down the list

I also use "Run - parkrun". I logged them as races before I found that category listed.

165 at Workington this morning. A high average sort of attendance, not at all crowded. Perfect conditions for running.

A race if I race it, tempo if I tempo it, general otherwise.

I reckon general should not be a category as there should be some other appropriate categorisation.....Easy or Steady !!!!
