I agree with Fenners to a degree, chatting lessens the perceived effort. Maybe I'm over the hill, or just poorly trained, but if I run so that I can't chat I'll pop sooner rather than later. My parkrun effort, while not really any faster, would have seen me unable to chat.

I don't agree as it's not that I choose not to chat I'm not able to. Last 3-5 miles of a half should be run in discomfort if at PB pace. Anyway each to his own

Chatting is for ultras, and maybe the first half of a marathon. And training

We should also remember Parkrun isn't a race !!!!
But I am with Hunts, certainly for 5k, if properly racing then snatched words is the best I can manage, otherwise I am racing people that I know I can beat if I can chat to them. It differs as you go up in distance, 10k is much the same. HM I could probably converse early on but towards the end its more like a 5k. Marathons then talking for longer is possible until quite late on, until the point the brain becomes scrambles.
I remember RFJ catching me at mile 25 of VLM and the chat was something like
RFJ - alright...puff...Baz
Baz - How...puff...you...puff...doing
RFJ - fecked
Next chat was when I caught him after the finish and said well done on his PB.....

Did anyone else read the story about James Taylor. Really Scary.
His HR was 265 when admitted to hospital. Did make me wonder about Max HR tests though, albeit I realise that Taylor's condition is unusual
