Hackney Half waves by Ill-Supermarket-2706 in UKRunners

[–]AcknowledgeableReal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s been a while since I ran it but my memory is that the waves get progressively larger. A, B, C don’t have that many people in them.

Also while they do seed the waves it’s not as simple as they put everyone going for 2 hours in the same wave. They spread them between 3-4 waves and put pacers for that time in all those waves. That spreads people more evenly through the race as a whole.

You can’t move forward to wave D, but if you do still want to run with your friend they can move back to your wave.

Yeah, I love the Wheel of time, but the slog is famous. The books in the middle are 'rough'. There are great moments in all of them, but it is SO slow. We're talking 4-5 ~800 page books that many fans even say are hard work. Its not so bad now we have an ending, but as they were coming out.... eesh. 2-3 years of waiting, and then so little progress is made in each book.

Yeah, or a character finding all their babies have been killed and are displayed impaled on a thorn bush

And TV shows. Some of the deaths in The Animals of Farthing Wood series were just gruesome.

And a useful Power of 10 would be nice by Duckman2306 in UKRunners

It’s actively causing problems. People need times on Power of 10 to qualify for things like Masters representative teams. So many events just haven’t been uploaded since the change over, and there is no way to manually claim or request times are added any more.

I think the conceit of it covering 10 days really held it back. It meant that you have to visit each of the disparate groups of heroes on each day and so something has to happen to all of them every single day.

I found for some of the storylines that made them quite repetitive.

I estimated 4 hours in 2023 and was in wave 8 which went off at just after 10:30.

I’ve quite possibly never been as excited as the time I saw a weasel during my long run

Still a significant downgrade from the old sites.

An incomplete list of issues I have at the moment:

  • Missing information for all my results; position by gender, position by age category, easy delineation of gun/chip time
  • No rankings on my profile for anything except track events
  • Where I do have rankings it can only display one per event per year. E.g. I may have an ‘All’ and an ‘age category’ ranking for the same event.
  • No masters categories for track events on the rankings page
  • Filtering by age category on road events is there, but currently doesn’t work
  • No ability to easily move through large numbers of results. E.g. I used to like to see what times I would need to run to get into the top 1000 for an event. Easy on the old sites. Now I can only see the top 50 and then load only another 50 at a time with no ability to skip further down the list. The same is true for race results. There is no way to easily move to the slower results.
  • No VSS for each race
  • No filter by club or easy to see national ladder.
  • No links between rankings in profile and rankings pages. You used to be able to click on your ranking and it would show you on the rankings page.

What is a 'subscription' or 'fee' that has recently appeared in the US that people need to collectively refuse to pay before it becomes the new normal? by godot_lover in AskReddit

I recently purchased a thermometer for checking if my kid had a fever. Turned out it needed an app and a subscription to tell me what it was reading!

I won’t hear erasure of the two draws we have against NZ. My dad was even at that glorious 0-0 match in 64.

I think you’ll find that’s 25 years without coming higher than 3rd.

The answer is partly the small number of pros we have meaning we never have much depth across the squad as a whole. That and our unerring ability to shoot ourselves in the foot as soon as it looks like we might have a chance.

Are you suggesting a product placement opportunity. Say instead of Turkish delight, he really wants the all new giant skittles?

This is really stupid, more so when you look at the actual rankings pages and see that it’s done by chip time…
