Parkrunners Assemble - reviving the thread that will remind you "do not forget you barcode"

As the pp said, they are currently suspended, but there are moves to reinstate them, probably after the Paris Olympics.

I also think there will be further changes to the stats that parkrun provides - eg that they remove the results tables altogether, and people just get an email with their time and age grading. If they do that, they should fall within the French rules anyway.

The French parkruns are all paused due to red tape - you need a doctor’s certificate to take part in an organised activity over there.

Well done everyone. I had a good run today and raised my P index to 6 which I am pleased about as I had been targeting the P index for a long time. I am more rooted in my home parkrun now though and am not that keen on the other local ones that I would need to keep going back to get 7, 8 or 9. Maybe it will happen organically but I will take the 6 for today 🎉

That's brilliant - l did 37 minutes too but my shoelace came undone and another runner fell over behind me so l stopped to make sure she was ok. Hopefully will be a bit better next week!

Anyone here by any chance go to a park run in Paris?
I'm keen to but anxious!

Thank you for asking. I completed it in 37 minutes, which is about 10 minutes off my best time, and under current circumstances, I am very happy with it.

how about you?

Well done, how did you get on?

Hope your return goes well @tomorrowisanotherdate. Do you have 5K your way where you are?

Well done @miked99. I’m touring relatively locally today, en route elsewhere. There were some people wandering around in nightwear when I arrived so I wondered for a moment if it was fancy dress but everyone else is in running gear. Phew!

First park run back since chemo - and I am going to a new park run today. My old one currently has some quite negative associations with it from struggling around it when I was ill. Its funny how these associations stick. Hopefully get some improved times in, and then I will return to my old run with happier memories

I actually flew to Ireland for the day on Saturday with maybe 20 from my running club. We went to Malahide which was the first Parkrun in Ireland! Was great fun!

No achievements for me either this morning - we are on holiday so I was touristing, but as it's somewhere we go regularly it was not a new parkrun for me. It was cold and windy and not very well attended, so I had an unusually low finish position this week.

I went to a local flat parkrun where I haven’t been for ages and ran my first continuous 5k in a few months (after having a bit of an injury). Sadly gave myself a blister but otherwise it was great to be out there again. I have definitely lost some fitness but I have a training plan so hoping to get my time down again over the next few months.

Literally nothing on the 5 k app today not even date bingo but beautiful weather , great views, familiar faces and a lovely breakfast after - good times.

Went to my NENDY which was a one lap course with various ups and downs and dofferent surfaces as well as twists and turns! Walked up some parts of the hills so was pleased with my time of a little over 30 minutes.

Had done a parkrun on this date before 5 years ago so all I got was new parkrun done as no time or position bingo 😃

Parkrun was cancelled for us this week, but I was there so I ran the course anyway!!! Ran for most of it, walked for 3 mins so I feel I'm close to being able to run the whole thing soon 🤞

Tourism with a friend to pick up an O for my alphabet challenge 😊

Went to my nearest (as the crow flies) parkrun this morning and got a new course PB 😊 it was my first parkrun in November 2012 and I got close to that time last month but this time I started steadily and got quicker throughout and now have a new course PB 😊

And my overall PB is only 2 seconds faster so I may well be able to beat that at some point (set that in February).

Also have date bingo 😊

I was at my home parkrun today, with a wholly unexceptional finish time.

It scored a date bingo though

Well done @miked99.

I did a bit of local-ish tourism this morning.

Well done @ohpumpkinseeds! You're braver than me, I waited until I'd finished C25K to do it, but everybody is so nice I could easily have started going earlier.

Love that @ohpumpkinseeds hope it’s the first of many. Run directing today for me. It went to plan and the wind stayed away so all good.

My local parkrun is routinely flooded as it's next to a river. Second cancellation in a row this week (and it has been cancelled a few times this winter).

I went to a reasonably local parkrun which had a new course and is hilly, so no risk of flooding. Their new course is better than the old one so I will probably be back.

Hello everyone and welcome to the parkrun family @ohpumpkinseeds! So glad you enjoyed yourself this morning.

@PolkadotsAndMoonbeams we have a "water feature" from time to time. I was out running last night and my route included part of a nearby parkrun, which was quite puddle-y (it's beside a river which has been bursting its banks with all the rain).

I volunteered this morning, and then ran some laps after everyone else had gone home.

I did my first ever Parkrun today! And I had to walk some of it (I can't run 5K yet, I've been doing C25k and I'm up to week 7). It was such a lovely welcoming atmosphere and I'm absolutely buzzing I did it and can't wait to go back next week!!
