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!

Good point, McG. I've got the sub 35 barrier to get through as well :-)

I may join you. Not done 5km since May 2014 so no idea what sort of time I can do.

no park runs here but I've found a 5k route took me 37.24 today, so a starting point for me. I would like to aim to do ParkRun when I'm home next Saturday but not sure if I'll manage it.

Hi I will be aiming for this later in the year after VLM. Need to shave 39 secs off my PB. Good to encourage each other.

I like the idea of mini goals - 31 minutes is a good one to aim for, thanks McG :-)

I'm in! Have always wanted a sub-30 5K. My parkrun PB is 32.04 and I'm nowhere near that at the moment so there's a long way to go.
I intend to run parkrun as many times as I volunteer this year so you never know, I might just get there.

I have 2 barriers, the first is actually getting to parkrun and the second is the magic 30minutes. I've not managed either since December 2013

Is there a 5k route you can run, RH? Then just track your improvements over the year. It will still count :-)
