(not) parkrun results 02/11/2020 – 08/11/2020

 



Credit where credit is due and Tralee have done it again. Their numbers continue to grow and yet they still have potential for more. With such strong numbers Tralee were able to deliver at least one victory for the Kingdom this week.



We really need to get our own numbers back up but also encourage the sleeping giant that is Malahide.
Ardgillan and Donabate can only do so much to assist us to hold back the barbarian hordes from The Kingdom.

There is another fight worth keeping an eye on and one which we can get St Annes, Tralee and all the others to help and that is the Global battle!

Global View




Look at the league table for the global picture and you can see that we are within touching distance of Australia. Let's all pull together and get the Aussies!!!



Two weeks ago Australia were hovering around the 1400 mark! We can definitely get up there after them.


The Potential

What is the potential? It is when you look at the average  number of finishers a parkrun had before Covid vs the number of (not) parkruns being logged. For example if say a parkrun had around 40 people finishing each week when parkrun was on then it would be reasonable to expect them to get 30 to 40 finishers logging a (not) parkrun each week.

Now look at the figures below.


Erris had 87 finishers log a (not) parkrun this week. That is 45 more than their average number of finishers for their parkrun. A Whooping 204%! Huge figures.

Clonbur Woods can feel rightly aggrieved at not taking the top spot when they had 146%. River Valley has only ever managed 103% so our 90% this week is poor by comparison. 

If you are wondering will St Annes ever beat Tralee then look at their %. St Anne's can easily get more people out and only need to get up to 60% or so to take the crown. We think St Annes should up their game a bit and try to take on the mighty Buncrana (not sarcasm!). Great stuff out of Buncrana.

The Juniors 

Just a little shout out to the juniors. Your kids can log a (not) parkrun for their home parkrun, Go Holywell!

A small number of juniors are doing just that. Your kids may not be up to a full 5k but might well relish a 2k and get their names up in lights too.


It might be a consolation prize but well down St Annes on the win!


De Northside

Not even going to publish the Northside vs Southside figures. We have no desire to kick 'em while they are down and down they are despite Bushy's best efforts. 



Keep fighting the good fight and get logging those runs!!

Goodbye and Good Luck 2020, here's to 2021!

  Okay, we know it is not quite over with yet but we are going to be as optimistic as we can for the future. It goes without saying that this year has been a very difficult one for everyone and that we are not quite out of the woods yet, but we can see some hope on the horizon that things are going to get better. We are going to cross all of our fingers and toes and hope that the vaccine rollout scheduled for the New Year will begin to see a return to 'normal' life. You never, know, we may even see a return to parkrun before December 2021 with any luck! A New Year's Resolution  On Monday 4th January, parkrun Resolution begins. This is an eight-week campaign in which parkrun are asking you to make one resolution that you will try to keep. Whether it is getting in an extra run or walk each week or trying to run a marathon a week, choose one thing that you hope to achieve and stick to. At the halfway mark (25th January), parkrun will bring the community together and applaud ev

And We're Back . . .

  Well, sort of. Okay, the title is a bit off-putting and we apologise for getting people's hopes up. However, we had a couple of our regular features back this week. Our Saturday morning coffee morning was back for the first time this year. This is a great way to catch up with those that we cannot get to see due to Level Five restrictions and is a nice way to spend a Saturday morning.  On Saturday, Andy brought back the fantastic music Zoom. There are many people that are afraid to join this as they do not play an instrument and feel like they can't sing. However, Andy is quick to point out that you do not have to sing or play to appreciate good music. A particular highlight this week was Cecile and Leyla's version of Memories by Maroon 5. We are very impressed, is there anything that these two cannot do! For those that are interested in joining in or just listening, keep an eye on the Whatsapp group for the Zoom details on a Saturday. Thanks to Pete and Andy for organisin

#38 There is no better place than the park

  We are truly blessed with the weather the last few days as it has been both dry and mild. If you wanted to use the weather for an excuse for not getting your 5k in then you are out of luck. We get the impression that a lot of people are simply forgetting to log their runs. Maybe they think it doesn't matter as we can't top the table when up against Tralee and St Annes. However the reality is that we are still challenging on a number of fronts including the "potential performance" and the total number of runs.  Get 'em logged folks and at least put us in with a chance. Do we really want to fall behind Marlay and we can still overtake Erris!  Congrats on the Milestones A few people have passed the 50 mark when it comes to (not) parkruns but one person has hit that 100 runs and that is Stephen Reid. Huge congratulations Stephen! A quick glance and those with over fifty include Una O'RIORDAN Siobhan MCCARTHY Sigita ZONBERGA David Martin KELLY Teresa CARROLL Coli
