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!

Don't worry too much about the others; do what you can and be proud of what you achieve x

I'll try and thank you both! I'm really nervous. I never felt nervous about parkrun. I just think it's the strangeness of it all. At least spectators are not allowed.

So this morning I decided to do a benchmark 5k to see where I am. 33mins 43secs so quite a way to go for sub 30...aiming to do this route once a month to measure progress.

That's a good place to be for now. Re-doing it each month is a good idea to see how much progress you are making.

Good idea to do time trials regularly. I’ve been doing those too.
