  • For all you people considering an lfgss parkrun at Highbury Fields on Feb 29th, you might like to know it's a pacer week. I'm organising. Obviously none of us are pro-pacers, but we'll all do our best.

    Currently there's someone for every time from 19 to 32 inclusive, plus 40. Might get some late volunteers for some of the 33 to 39 slots. MrsFix is doing 32, and I'm doing 20. Currently just about hanging on to that sort of 5k pace as I'm focused on much shorter stuff at present.

    So if you're aiming for a particular time, you might have some help. But bear in mind we've been maintaining an attendance of ~500 on a 5-and-a-bit lap course with a few pinch points, so you may have to prioritise courtesy over glory. And if you try to snow-plough anyone with a buggy, I will fucking deck you.

  • I can’t take any credit for the idea. It’s something many parkruns have done from time to time. We got a new set of pacer bibs so are trying to make it a more frequent occurrence. And we’re always open to individuals volunteering as pacers on any given week (if arranged in advance).
