Our latest parkrun trip saw us revisit Poole parkrun in Dorset, reckoned to be the third fastest in the UK.
During the run we thought about the myriad of ways in which people use the various numbers parkrun generates to enjoy their parkrunning. You don't have to be fast, or even getting faster. There are numbers out there for everyone to enjoy, and in this video we take you through many of them.

Thanks for all the stats. It’s ironic that so many love their parkrun stats and yet the organisation has removed so many stats.

@tworunningbrooms Месяц назад

@PoetWithPace yes, hopefully they won't remove anymore, although nothing is certain!

@gregory3768 Месяц назад

@@tworunningbrooms excellent 👌

@PoetWithPace Месяц назад

@@tworunningbrooms sadly I think they have doubled down on bringing those back, under the premise their numbers are growing world wide

Very nice Parkrun!!! You are both very strong age graded runners!!!

@tworunningbrooms Месяц назад

Thanks. We keep working at remaining strong. 🙂

@user-rs9rp1su6g Месяц назад

As an older parkrunner I get all warm and fuzzy over age grading. It's very motivating to see yourself up there near the top of the table despite being disappointed with your time. We shouldn't look back at what we had but work towards contentment with what we have.

@tworunningbrooms Месяц назад

Age grading is very motivational. #keeponkeepingon 😁

@mikejames3148 Месяц назад

87.97% age grade!! Fantastic effort. Parkrun says "Above 90% World Class Level Above 80% National Class Level"

@tworunningbrooms Месяц назад

Thanks. Yes, we're always striving for high age groups levels. It gives us something to keep working at. 😁

I'm a big fan of AG%. It's a big motivator. I miss the leagues and hope it doesn't get dropped completely. Personally I've never been interested in the challenges, I'm aware they exist, but don't pay much attention or chase anything. A friend of mine broke the AG% course record at Exeter Riverside on Saturday with 100.90%. It was their 429th event. It's a shame such feats go largely unnoticed these days, she didn't even get a mention in the event report.

@tworunningbrooms Месяц назад

Yeah we've seen some individual parkruns continue to curate their own records and celebrate such achievements. But it's no longer the norm. Parkrun is discriminating particularly against older runners who get extra pleasure from the age records. No the challenges don't really change our behaviour. We go to a parkrun because we want to be in that place. Certainly wouldn't pile into an Event 777 to fill a spreadsheet 😀

Great video, as always. And great running too!

@tworunningbrooms Месяц назад

Thank you! #keeponkeepingon 👍

@gokiwi2642 Месяц назад

Wow that’s a lot of park runners over 2000 people haha 😮 & over 800 in the one you ran, wish they would bring back the old stats, my first park run I ever did was only a few years ago in the 55-59 age group I got 4th fastest ever in my age group for Palmerston North park run, can’t show off now all the states are gone, 😀

@tworunningbrooms Месяц назад

I think we all wish they'd bring back the stats - spoil sports! 🤣

@middleagedrunningman Месяц назад

Great video! That start looked a bit packed!!! Another sub 22 Dawn!!

@tworunningbrooms Месяц назад

Yeah I can never work out why it's the 3rd fastest. You'd be fine though with your Edgbaston Reservoir start. Out like a lion.

@kathrynflannery2889 15 дней назад

I'm laughing as i don't think i'm even at local level on the age grading. I think i'm early 40s% Mind you, i'm a beginning runner, similar age to John.

@tworunningbrooms 14 дней назад

That's the great thing about the age grading. You can see yourself progressing year on year.

@stephenlee1643 Месяц назад

We need to ask Tim nicely if he’s working on some 2024 rankings….2023 was based on results up until April 2023.

@tworunningbrooms Месяц назад

He's been working on a new set but it's quite a job .

@outerheaven8797 Месяц назад

Oh ok, did Poole parkrun a couple of weeks ago. Probably one of the more interesting ones. Wherever stats or records are taken away, maybe app developers can fill the void? If enough of us suggest that as an idea for new functionality

@tworunningbrooms Месяц назад

@@outerheaven8797 hopefully no further stats will be removed. The parkrun app is very useful.

@outerheaven8797 Месяц назад

@tworunningbrooms Yep agree. I'm not sure that Age Graded or Course records were that off-putting for people just jogging or walking a parkrun. Those people probably didn't take much notice of it anyway.

@tworunningbrooms Месяц назад

@@outerheaven8797 yep we know it was so parkrun suits could swerve the gender issue.

@outerheaven8797 Месяц назад

@tworunningbrooms Should have just introduced a new gender category, Non Binary, so if they're trying to be inclusive, participants who don't identify as 1 of 2 genders can select that at sign up.
