#clickyourclock competition will run for an extra week in October
This week's #clickyourclock competition was won by Mark Mearing-Smith (handicap 3.5) for the second week in a row.
Mark was due to be sent his second Polar FT4 heart rate monitor, which is the weekly prize for this competition but has, generously, declined the prize and requested that we run the competition for an extra week in October.
Every week, the results of all runbritain-licensed events (including parkruns) that have been uploaded by 12 noon on Wednesday have a final additional column, that conceals a clock, alongside your result.
Underneath, it will have the percentage improvement or increase on your runbritain handicap score from that race result and this will be revealed when you click your clock.
The runbritain handicap score works like a golf handicap. It ranges from MINUS 7 to 36.00 and changes every time you complete a runbritain licensed event, including parkruns.
Regular racing is rewarded in the weighting of the score and you don’t have to run a personal best time to improve. If it is a hilly, windy or multi-terrain course, this will be factored in, with a degree of difficulty attributed to the net score.
When your result appears, after your race, all you have to do is #clickyourclock on the results sheet to find out your percentage improvement or increase in that race. The leaderboard is displayed until the competition closes at precisely 12 noon each Wednesday until October. The most improved runner by percentage wins a Polar FT4 heart rate monitor.
