Power of Ten UK rankings

(P.S. Parkrun 5ks have now been reclassified as MultiTerrain events, so no longer qualify as road races - updated 18/2/10)

Just been checking on the Power of Ten UK rankings site as I now have qualifying times at 5k, 10k & half marathon. It seems unbelievable that I'm ranked 2nd at 5k & 10k and 6th at HM for M55. I would never have expected to get such a high ranking at UK level, there are at least 4 other M55 Ilkley Harriers who can run faster than me over some distances/surfaces. In fact the guy who is shown as 1st for 10k seems to be only 52 years old, so he shouldn't be in the M55 category, which if that gets corrected would give me a top ranking. This won't last as it's still very early in the year & there will be many faster runners who will venture out when the weather gets a bit warmer.....it's not ideal for running fast 5k races at the moment.

Today's run was a gentle jog around the Strid Wood. It was quite pleasant conditions, a bit wet under foot & some light rain. The paths were a bit busy with people out walking taking advantage of the half term holidays.

Tomorrow we're driving to Lille for an overnight stop before going on to Brussels on Wednesday, so probably no running. In Brussels it seems that they have a lot of snow, so not sure what it will be like there for running, hopefully I'll be able to get out in the woods.
