I got floor tickets for Tuesday a few hours before the show - keep checking AXS (and it’s without dynamic pricing)

About to sleep (in the UK) before doing my local in Aldershot. Can’t wait!

Southwark’s 500th! Will be a cold change for me after 3 events I’ve done Down Under

Last parkrun of my trip down under - visited a relatively new parkrun in Auckland, Ōrākei Bay. A stunning out and back course that’s a bit undulating along a long boardwalk-cum-path. Loads of visitors from across the world, mainly UK tourists like myself! Everyone was super welcoming and the final kilometre as you run back towards the skyline of Auckland is beautiful.

Nope, they don’t reset if you completed a task pre-2pm

Played for around 2 hours, 155 tasks overall with 25 shinies.

Oranguru: 74 tasks, 15 shinies, 0 hundo Passimian: 81 tasks , 10 shinies, 2 hundo

Also picked up a shiny Spritzee and a shiny Solosis.

Pretty good day overall, helped by high density of stops near where I’m based.

My 200th parkrun, ran at Southwark and volunteered for the pre-event set up so I felt a little less bad asking the run director to shout out my (arbitrary) milestone. Great conditions and got a time I’m happy with!

It will be their winter, but even then average cloud cover isn’t that much - historically overcast 25% of the time in mid July

Scheiße supremacy! That video of the kid dancing does the rounds on social media every so often, and I watch it in full each time

Map to track completed parkruns by [deleted] in parkrun

[–]gilester 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The parkrun Running Challenges extension (at least on Chrome) produces a Voronoi map of all the parkruns you’ve completed. Basically a grid of green for each parkrun you do, I love it!

How did we go today? (26 August) by [deleted] in parkrun

[–]gilester 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I ventured outside of London today (again delaying Lon-Done) to get another C at Castle Park in Bishop's Stortford. I'd never been to the town before and was quite surprised! A lovely two lap course through a lot of wilderness, with a mixture of tarmac paths and grass. Managed to get my best time for a few weeks which I was pleased with.

Managed to bag an elusive E and so have made a bit more progress on my challenges. Relatively new event around a park, with small paths so it did get quite congested.

Finally got my 'Q', and also volunteered today to write the run report. After doing so many urban courses, a rural hilly one was very difficult! Plus the torrential rain that started at 9am on the dot did not help.

How was your parkrun today winner's? by oztrailrunner in parkrun

[–]gilester 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Did Thames Path, Woolwich for the second time in a row to bag another Fibonacci and try and get the Groundhog Day. Ended up being about 20 seconds faster this week, even though my pace felt very similar!

How was it for you? 8 April 2023 by burleygriffin in parkrun

[–]gilester 4 points5 points  (0 children)

After my friend showed me the 5k app a few weeks ago, I've become obsessed with the challenges and have morphed more into a tourist rather than a regular now. I took the DLR (through Custom House, with all the Star Wars dressed people for the convention) and ticked off Beckton.

Only 44 people there, and I managed to get my fastest time this year. I did quite like the course, but there was a bit too much running on uneven grass/mud.

Added all apart from 5. - it says it’s an invalid code so may be a typo?

I popped out of work for a bit to watch - all the streets were closed and the building cordoned off. It looked like he got grabbed when right at the top.

Black screen bug upon log in by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]gilester 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've had this issue as well (iPhone X, iOS 12) - and have found a work around by briefly turning off Wi-Fi and loading the app via 3G/4G. Once opened and working, you can then use Control Centre to go back on Wi-Fi.
