Sorry for the delayed update, but here's last week's stats: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... sp=sharing

The next two Saturdays are Christrmas Eve and New Year's Eve respectively. With the possibility that people may be doing Christmas Day and New Year's Day runs, and to avoid confusion in the table, it will be updated with people's Saturday run data ONLY.

I will do a complete list of all runs done over the four possible days in this thread, but the table will contain all the stats as usual. The data for Christmas Day (Sunday) will be included in the update that I do for New Year's Eve (the following Saturday). The data for New Year's Day (Sunday) will be included in the update I do for Saturday the 7th of January. Hopefully that makes sense. There's little point in doing an update for each Saturday and then another one the following day as a lot of people won't even see the updated table in the 24 hours between updates.

Just trust me, OK? :lol:

Roding Valley could totally have been one-lap. Very much more practical to have it as two laps, but less fun to run.

Roding Valley on the 14th Jan is perfecto :-)

I've changed my mind slightly on when I'm doing the spreadsheet updates. I've done last weekend today, so the table is now updated with stats for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day runs.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... sp=sharing

This festive period's runs were as follows:

Soup Dragon - Preston Park (25th)
Andi - Bournemouth (24th)
Matthewcook18 - Penrose (24th)
nozzacook - Penrose (24th)
scrxisi - Barking (25th)
tractakid - Linford Wood (24th)
***** - Raphael (24th)
Going Underground - Bedfont Lakes (24th) and Bushy Park (25th)
Das - Lymington Woodside (24th)

Hi Neil, would also like to thank you for all your effort keeping the table updated. Just one correction on my stats, the number of courses should read 11 not 10.
Cheers and a happy new year to all.
One day I shall return!

I'll be updating the table with this weekend's runs tomorrow, and I'll correct SD's course anomaly too. :)

OK, after a nightmare of an update due to everyone doing 7349434 runs over the festive period we have a new table!

Note that for the purposes of the "RUN STREAK" column, both Christmas and New Year weekends count as ONE "run" each, as the figure is based on whether you have run in that whole week. However, the "RUNS SINCE LAST PB" column takes into account the extra runs people have done, so if you did three runs and didn't get a PB (which no one did) that figure has now gone up by three. Hopefully that all makes sense.

Sort your way through this mess ...

I'm not listing down all the runs people did last weekend in this thread as it would take as long to type them out as it did to update them!

After finally attending a parkrun last year and then going quiet for a bit, I have done my first run of the year around the circuit I have at home. 4km in 21:28 isn't the worst run in the world (especially after 6 weeks of no running and very much enjoying the food and drink over Christmas :D ) but room for improvement definitely (I was doing 4km in about 18/19 mins before).

No parkrun for me this week as I am at the British Motor Museum in Gaydon on Saturday but I am hoping to do one on the 14th before R15 if I can get stuff organised.

Why run a marathon could also be asked? Well all that really happened was that my legs just got tired as both courses were quite sapping so just plugged on slowly for the last 10-15 mins of the final run....

Think you missed me out! Ran New Year's Eve at Ally Pally (new, and the only forum member to run there) and then again at Dulwich on New Year's Day. So +2 runs for me, and one new venue. Thx.
I forgot to add to your unique venues total, so that's fixed. But the rest of your data is definitely in the spreadsheet. :)
