The Doctor K Cup

The seventh annual Doctor K Cup will take place on Saturday October 19th 2024
All you need is a GPS watch or app. On the day, RUN AT LEAST 5K WITHOUT LOOKING AT YOUR WATCH. The Fetch Benchmark system will pull out your fastest 5k from your run (so you can include it as part of your long run if you like). The person who gets closest to their prediction will be declared the winner (though the judges decision is final!).
It would be lovely if you could upload your 'K' pics to the gallery (make a K shape with your fingers) to help us remember Doctor K and all the Fetchies we have lost.
NB A GPS watch reporting 5.00km will do so from 4995 metres onwards, but you MUST run at least 5000 metres or more. To avoid disappointment add an extra 10 seconds on to the end of your run, just to make sure.

I only adjusted my time a short while ago, having forgotten to hit Submit after a few beers in the wee small hours of the morning! Hope that is allowed. Off to tackle the Springburn parkrun course in an hour or so.

I don't believe my new Garmin is as accurate at measuring distances as my previous one, so any distance it measures is underestimated and my times accordingly faster than they should be.

I was pretty rubbish at the prediction bit. Happy with my actual time though. Really enjoyed the session and being ‘booked in’ for the Dr K gave me the push I needed to get out today. Thanks to everyone.
