  BBC website has one of the worst comment sections on the internet.

  Amen to that. Avoid like the plague.

  cheers all. I didn't think that going out full throttle at the start of a 5k would be a good tactic!

  Nasty collapse in the heat. It's meant to get quite hot this week so take care next Sunday whoever is doing it

  I am very happy with my 21:48 today though!

  I did my third parkrun today. Did my first km in 4:08 which is my fastest ever 1km time. Didnt realise I was going so fast until I looked down at the watch when it beeped at the first km mark. Was sure I was going to die early but managed to hold it together reasonably well for a 21: 48 time, which is about 45 seconds better than last week, and my best ever for a 5k. Do people think under 20:00 is achievable for someone starting out at my age? I will be 42 this year and only started running last June.

  If you're expecting Joe to turn up tomorrow night at polo you might want to let him know to be there

  Turns out the Strava Android app is total balls for running. Bought a Garmin Vivoactive 3 today, went on what I thought was a much longer run. Tracking shows a much smoother route but only up to 2.5 miles from 2.4 (4k from 3.9). All the hinting around for a GPS signal was way over egging the distance.

  Feels almost like starting from scratch. At least now I have a more accurate baseline.

  Yep, I've experienced exactly the same thing. I had previously wondered what had happened to my good running speed. I was sick in January, and then after that seemed to have slowed down considerably. I put it down to recovery after illness, but after further reflection / investigation realised ALL my mobile phone recorded times were off because of the GPS adding about 10% extra on to the distance.

  Well done! Have you a local Parkrun near you? I only did my second one on Saturday, but I enjoyed it this time around. Hated my first one.
