@Jonathan_Hinder @parkrunUK parkrun isn't a women's sport.
It's not a competitive sport.
It's not a competitive women's sport.

This is what parkrun is.

@alfredlanning22 For someone who spends every week bashing parkrun, Mara seems to know very little about it.(or at least feigns ignorance for her own ends)

[Tom Collins @tomcollins76]

@pdcornish76 Thats what the age grade % will tell you. For a given finish time, the age grade curve across different ages will be different and have a different shape.

"...threaten physical harm on the ground of a person's attribute."

I think you meant "grounds"

Victoria's anti-vilification laws are set to be expanded to cover disability, gender identity, sex and sexual orientation.
It will be easier for police to bring charges as part of the overhaul. https://t.co/M0wib0euRm

@MarathnInvestgr @ksorbs Also, doesn't take into account Emotional Hedging.

@jazzbluecat You can just walk at parkrun. As always, talk to your doctor, but parkrun is perfect for slowly recovering from surgery/illness/injury.

@EmpiricalChic @itsafrogslife @tippytwotoes At parkrun:
- everyone walks/runs together
- there are no prizes, podiums or records
- nobody checks your age category
- no timing chips (just a volunteer madly tapping at a phone)
- if anything goes wrong, everyone get the same finish time: 59:59

[Tom Collins @tomcollins76]

@EmpiricalChic @itsafrogslife @tippytwotoes How to say "you have no idea what parkrun is" without saying "you have no idea what parkrun is".

[Tom Collins @tomcollins76]

@kinjones29 @matty_dinoo @itsafrogslife @sarah_owl3 @GezzieRez @PennySa35958225 @JennyAscendant You're so close to getting it!

Once you realize that parkrun:
- doesn't give prizes
- doesn't have a podium
-doesn't check age categories
- keeps time by a volunteer madly tapping at their phone.
- doesn't even check that everyone started at the same time!

you'll understand.

paragraph 5: "Curvy isn't the online..."

Earlier this week, Michelle and I called our friend @KamalaHarris. We told her we think she’ll make a fantastic President of the United States, and that she has our full support. At this critical moment for our country, we’re going to do everything we can to make sure she wins in November. We hope you’ll join us.
