It’s impossible to find a looped course without a big hill in these parts . Is out and back ok?
Out and back is fine!
Or maybe we should add an elevation column for possible bragging rights/hardship complaints for some

I'm in. Are there age category bands or do I just enter my age in the cat column?
Enter your Cat or Name. We'll might update the challenge to make it fun and more competitive soon.
Some ideas to age actual ages, classify results by cat, add elevation and there are the monthly challenge series points table to consider too. Maybe 20, 19, 18, 17 per Gender or per Cat (The O/60 lads will all score high :cool:)...
Anyway just keep it simple now, add yourself or ask to be added to the table and we will get everyone on board first

Don’t forget AG ranking allows rudimentary performance comparison across categories and genders. All built into the spreadsheet. 0 -

Added myself in. It's been a couple years since running sub 19, but no harm in wishful thinking.

You can do it Fri, Sat or Sun.
Will there be bottle openers this year or any other form of branded boards merchandise? 0 -

Hmmm... Good that you are back running but this made me wonder.
Are people not participating because its yet another TT.. yawn?
Not participating because fitness is not where you want it to be?
I get the first one. Its hard to get motivated for a solo TT effort.
The latter though, hmmm. Can you run a 5k at any given time just to see where you are? Is it worth the effort or too risky? How often did people rock up to Parkruns to do a 5k with no goal other than do the best they can on the day? I recognize that Parkruns are more about community and are sorely missed these days..0 -
For me personally it's because my fitness is not where you want it to be and I'd like to have a few weeks back under the belt before an effort. All this sitting is doing my back no favours and I haven't put in the required effort to sort out the S&C to address it! I'll see how the steady easy running is going over the next 10 days and sure I have until the 23rd in case I change my mind
I do think though that there is probably some TT fatigue out there generally, it's a lonely auld slog and the novelty has worn off somewhat0 -

Or option 3 - there's no bottle opener this year
Ultimately I'm just not in the headspace for it. Last year I was buzzing to be part of it, maybe the novelty factor, it really gave me a lift. I feel a bit guilty for not supporting it when people are giving their valuable time to organise it and I've toyed with throwing my name in for that reason but that would be the only reason as I just don't have any grá for a 5k TT at the minute :cool:0 -

The only bottom of the table that someone should be embarrassed about is the sandbagging standings
Why have a sneaky go and not share? The best thing about this forum is the warts and all honesty of the posts. You can head over to various social media platforms for the sepia filtered bliss of someone smashing their 5 k PB on a big downhill route.
For me it's not about the standings but the craic around the reports. You don't need to be in tip top shape. You make a prediction based on your current fitness and see how you go. It could even be a Tempo effort, (which I suspect some will be doing anyway) and see if you can hit that.
I'd love to see a few more taking part too. All the reports last year made it the thread of the year IMO.
I've been training for the 800 m this year so have set my own target at possibly a stupid level based off nothing but a round number that I'd love to nip under. I'd rather aim and miss my target though than set one on the handy side just so I can get my back virtually slapped.
Of course I'll be delighted to beat my target but TBH I'll have more fun posting about a glorious failure and what an idiot I was to try and aim so high in the first place versus the opposite of that.0 -

I hope you surprise yourself by not being an idiot 0 -

I haven't been running at all in the last month or so so not even sure I'll manage 31 mins but will give it a go, bottle opener or not. I couldn't do the last challenge because it was beyond my capabilities but happy to be back in the group challenge again! I did think I had a couple more weeks though :eek: 0 -

I hadn’t signed up to this coz of the back, the only day I could possibly do it is Sunday and I might have to bale anyway. Can someone please put me down for 19.40 just in case I run out of excuses and actually try it. Age north of 50!
I’m not anywhere near race shape, haven’t many sessions banked and am carrying some excess lard!!
Can I do the shot putt if I get cold feet

Just changing prediction time to avoid being accused of sandbagging.
The plan is simply to run as hard as I can maintain for 5k without blowing up.
Am only back running 2 months after injury layoff and most running so far has been general aerobic. An extra stone or so acquired during layoff (that's not shifting) won't help either. I'd be happy enough to get close to 23. 0 -
