The Parkrun Thread

I’ll never run or volunteer at one again

Jesus, I hope there isn’t a raft of pretend volunteers with the same attitude, the pretend runners will have nothing to pretend to do on Saturday mornings

And all due to lads pretending to be women

There’s a transgender runner that does the UL parkrun most weeks, quick enough as well, has probably won the girls race a few times

I don’t really understand this row, how many parkruns have all time records held by transgender, must be a tiny number

Parkrun is a disgrace of an organisation

Junior Parkrun debut today. I’m expecting a blistering 15 min/km pace.

caulifloweredneanderthal · May 12, 2024, 9:08am

Negative split

Nearly got her first DNF today. A big fall 200 metres in required some first aid attention. But we got it done. No PB today, but will be back next week. WE GO AGAIN.

Lovely parkrun morning with my clubmates. A long slow run starting in Raheny with a pace pickup for Fairview parkrun. Rory “Gaffs” Hearne TD upfront & a strong Sanctuary Runners presence making the relatively new East Wall residents welcome. Then a jog back to Dublin 5 for coffee & a chat. The ideal running & community morning for any woke individual. Parkrun truly is a wonderful thing.

Here’s our one from today. I dragged my lass along. She had a vomit at the end. I felt bad
She was ok after a tea and a drive up the mountain forest road.

You seem to fairly regularly run your children to the point where they’re vomiting, but you’re vehemently against 10 yr olds doing two training sessions a day occasionally

flattythehurdler · January 11, 2025, 11:42pm

Lovely use of “fairly regularly” and “occasionally” there.
Clare roaster level debating I suppose.

Raylan · January 11, 2025, 11:49pm

There were a few conditionals and qualifications there I suppose

flattythehurdler · January 12, 2025, 12:34pm

I’ll tell you what, I was up the trail running today and felt a fairly pressing need. I wasn’t convinced that it was just wind and darent risk it, rightly as it turns out.
A shite in the woods is iontach e.
