Tube Challenge parkrun league...

Neil, I've just found an Age Grade Calculator http://www.runnersworld.com/tools/age-grade-calculator
This should allow you to calculate the missing age graded time rather than have it estimated.

I would need Ian's age when he set his best time to work it out.

OK, a few things to mention this week. First of all I finally updated the table with two weeks' worth of runs, so if you notice anything obviously wrong with your stats let me know. It's easy to make a mistake when doing more than one week at once.

Secondly, where the hell did Matthew Cook come from to run faster than me? I thrashed him when I ran against him and Nozza at Plymvalley a few months ago. Anyway, he's one of two PBs on the table this week, as xcooler123 has the honour of recording one in his first run (as is the tradition in the table). Apart from him, no one ran at a new venue this week, and Andi sets what I believe is the record for the slowest time ever set at a Parkrun by a forum member. Of course, he was tail-running ...

Oh, also congratulations to this thread for earning its 100 T-shirt!

And I thought my 59:59 was unbeatable!

[tubeguru]

That was a timing error though - you'll have to actually RUN slower than that to claim the record now.

It does seem odd that three people all took over an hour when all of them have PBs around the 30 minute mark. Even if they walked the whole way, it shouldn't take that long.

Yes, I noticed that. You'll have to ask Andi what the story was there. He must have known.

I couldn't believe anybody would record slower than my 1:00:41 which was a family group taking pictures and selfies and walking with no great effort tail runner has its down side sometimes.

well the guy was 81 years old and yes he walked whole way the other 3 ladies could have quite happily left me to it but i guess they enjoyed the slow motion. I was volunteering as I was doing marathon next day which despite walking 6.5 miles of it completed in 5h 01m 29s.

He's been running fast all summer, work has kept him busy Saturdays. And Neil few months ago was 1st Jan.

Considering I had a poor start to today's run (couldn't get my music app to show on my watch, then had to faff about with the volume, and dropped my water bottle) I'm really pleased to get within 5 seconds of my PB, and my fastest time in about six months!

[nozzacook]

Enjoyed parkrun so much I ran it again. Ran with one of our club juniors in 24:16 then turned around and ran it again in 25:27.

Giving me a 10K time of 49:43 which would be a Pb.

[tractakid]

Stupendous run at Kettering today. Fastest since February.

[xcooler123]

Sadly could not do a Parkrun this week as I was recovering from a virus

[tubeguru]

OK, all up to date again.
