Somehow, 10 years of doing parkruns has ticked over (July 2008). Lots of changes - from one in relatively easier reach, they're now into double figures.

There's also a lot of data.. I've done 90....

Did a bit of number crunching, really to understand what is the dominant factor in performance:

- Fitness/injury
- Age
- Weight


Weight wins it. I just disappointed that I have such a range of experimental data to go on here.

However, fitness and weight tend to correlate quite strongly.

Congratulations 90, well done
Does that mean you did one this Saturday?
If so how did you get on ?

I did. I was sort of ready to do one last week; but horrible cold. Still a bit under the weather. Objective was to do it very slowly, then try a bit harder on the last lap if everything held up. Which is did. But the time is a bit of a worry given the amount of effort that went in. 2+ minutes slower than the effort from the last first-time-in-ages (September). I don't think I've put on another stone since then, but now I'm not sure.

Good for you for getting out and doing it
hope the cold get some shaken off quickly and the parkrun didn't make it worse.

Impressive. Stay unbroken and knock the next 10 off by end of January

How far off the 100 are you now?

Err... 94 now....

Not managed one since the beginning of the year!

Well it's four closer.

What's holding you back, injury? Or The dreaded lethargy?

Injury and non-specific-brokenness. And work is a bit all encompassing.

I did managed to work the 12+ miles to work and back the other week. But that's about it on the exercise front.
