What AGE GRADING Did Dawn Get? | COURSE PB? | Doddington Hall parkrun | 15.7.2023 | FAST COURSE

[@racheld1844]

I was expecting John to break out into 🎶 clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am…stuck in the middle with you 🎶 Well done on your age grade and finish time Dawn. That’s one thing parkrun has introduced me to and that’s the age grade score. I like to put other race times in a calculator and see what I get. I like that it then gives you the equivalent times for other distances at the same age grade 🙂

Lol. Don't think John would break into song unless it was a Bob Dylan. 😂 Yes, age grading is a good way of keeping motivation and especially when pbs are long gone. I've always aimed for 80% or above when racing well. I can track how well I'm running each year through this method.

[@racheld1844]

@@tworunningbrooms - my highest was 79.35 so very close but not quite the magic 80% 😊

Well done, Dawn. That's great running on a beautiful Parkrun course. Awesome content.

[@tworunningbrooms]

Thank you! Yes, we were lucky with the weather yesterday as the forecast was for high winds. We just got a stiff breeze. 🙂

Really good to see you both again & awesome times for you both! Congratulations Dawn on a fantastic Age Grading. Thanks John as always for your in depth review of the course (even though I do know it like the back of my hand😅) But Great information for Newbies to Doddington. Also managed to view Andrew's video too which gave a different perspective of the day👍

[@tworunningbrooms]

Great times guys, it looks beautiful there. This location is often in the top 10 fastest runs of the week list for some speedy individual.

[@tworunningbrooms]

Yes a lot of Lincoln Wellington runners take part. One of the top clubs in the country.

[@henandcoop]

Great Run! Our local parkrun only pulls around 40 runners. That looks like a huge community of runners!

[@tworunningbrooms]

Thank you. I think they get about 300... I expect you're a close community with low numbers. Which parkrun is this?

Nice one, Dawn 😊 great run and a lovely location!

[@tworunningbrooms]

Thanks, Ian. It was a lovely place! 🙂

[@simonbamford4045]

Also when you do your warm up stretches, do you do them before any running, or after your warm up run? Many thanks 😊

[@tworunningbrooms]

We do them after a 10-20 min jog to raise heart rate and body temperature. But first thing in the morning if running I might do some activation exercises like squats just to wake up my glutes. Many runners will do this first before jogging.
