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!

Ill post this here, it's really a website query, but hopefully someone will know why my standard ranking isn't higher. It's sitting at 69, but I have run quite a few parkruns at 70+ and two 5 mile races at 75 ish . Does only your best pitch at each distance count over the year ?

Yep, needs to be at 3 separate distances.
From the blurb on the Standards page "To gain a standard, you need to complete races at any three distances during the year"

HG, I have run it once, although on looking back I see to have been sans-Garmin that day so I can't link to my stats. It has .. if I remember... one moderate hill which you go up twice. With a trip around the duck pond .

:-)G - check the training log for Murray ( kk ) for 4th June 2016.

There's also a map and course description on the Kirkcaldy parkrun website, but I guess you knew that already, so must be the elevation you want to look at ;-)

Magic, thanks guys. I knew Soap you'd done it, and Dvorak, but couldn't find training log for it. I'll try kilomikepapa, thanks Gus. Yes, elevation, pace, maybe see if there is a description of the underfoot etc. :-) G

Perfect guys, thanks. Looks like 1 wee hill 0.5 mile into the lap x 2 maybe. And tarmac path? Seems good. PBable Soapy? :-) G

A good solid tarmac path all the way, and wide enough so that overtaking shouldn't be a problem. PB ? I'd say it's a slower course than Cramond because of the hill - not a big hill but Cramond is, as you know, totally flat and the round the duck pond bit has some tightish corners, Cramond you can run at full gas all the way
