    I was surprised at the times from Bowdon, less than 1% faster than we have been running Congleton and South Manchester, 8 seconds for someone doing 21 minutes. I wasn’t around, was the weather bad? Would others expect Bowdon to be significantly faster than a Parkrun? Could someone have got their distances wrong? Ian

    My watch read 8 seconds quicker than the time they posted for me…

    Distance was correct. However the off road section with 4 ninety degree bends per lap
    plus branch avoidance. took 12 seconds longer on each kilometer it was included in.
    Therefore a 24second handicap.
    Also some parkruns are not totally accurate . my Tom tom gps has congleton 30meters long
    Bramhall 140 meters short. etc .

    Most park runs , apart from Congleton have sharp bends , one theory could be we run better when not under pressure , don’t go off to fast , don’t try and chase others down or worry who is behind .
    GPS don’t take any gradients into account . Hence any hilly run will show up shorter using a GPS .
