DFW running club mark 2!! ALL ARE WELCOME!!!

Hey Sammy, this WAVA thing is good when you have an extra birthday.

Just seen the results from Saturday's parkrun and the WAVAs for the first 3 in the race were: 73.46%, 72.88%, 71.77%

Mine was given as 72.37% - so instead of being position 12th compared to their top 3 positions I think I much prefer to talk about WAVAs and be right there in the mix up the front - sounds much better!:p:p;)

Sad I know, but you have to get the stats on your side somehow!!!:p

becky_rtw

HAHAHA we do that all the time though - oh no I wasnt 1250 of competitors I was 75 woman dont you know

I think its great that there is a measure which evens everyone out as much as possible

RichOneday_2

Having said that, having checked all the WAVA ratings I still end up 12th on that basis too....so maybe WAVA isn't that useful after all!:p:p:p

RichOneday_2

Any new races that need adding/amending - let me know and I'll make the necessary changes!

Black = Completed Races.
Blue = Planned Races.

The blue figures next to the results are the WAVA age grading percentage followed by the relevant world record to which the time is being compared.

With age grading everyone is on an equal footing - the score takes out any advantage/disadvantage due to age and any advantage/disadvantage due to being male/female.

So whatever your age or sex if you score 52% it is better than another person's 51% regardless of their age/sex.

So what are the scores? They are quite simply a measure of your performance compared to the person who holds the world record for that distance in your age group and of your gender.

Clearly some of the WRs are out of date, but there has to be a stable basis on which to calculate otherwise the gradings would need to be re-computed every time a WR changes.

So, in simple terms your WAVA rating is:

Your time is 4 x World Record 25.00%
Your time is 2 x World Record 50.00%
Your time is 1.5 x World Record 66.67%
Your time is 1.25 x World Record 80.00%

Looks like there's lots of running and planning going on here guys

EC - congrats on your 5K. If you haven't done one for years you must be really pleased that you completed that one comfortably? Go on - get yourself outside - you know you want to

I never got running last night as my 3 year old wouldnt sleep and I was raging as I need to keep it going if I am going to do the 10k in September!!

So got up this morning at 05.30am and went outside felt really good and I did 1.9 miles (just checked MapMyRun) could have possibly done a second lap but time was tight. I didnt time my run but I left the house at 05.50am and arrive back in again at 06.07, so roughly 16-17 mins which I am really pleased with as it is far quicker than the treadmill!!

Hopefully get out again on Thursday morning if not tomorrow maybe try 2.5 miles next!!

becky_rtw

Rich I think we can probably say I wont be running the half on 21st June as I doubt I will be fit enough to give it a good go

Can you search for some other likely suspects for me please for a bit later in the year

RichOneday_2

I'm sure we can find something appropriate once you're back in shape to give Ukevas a run for his WAVA rating!:D:D:D

pinkneonmartini

Hi guys :hello: sorry, not posted in ages, but after i got back from spain it took me most of the week to catch up on the thread, then i officially turned 25 on friday and spent the weekend completely blottoed!!!! it was great :T

Plus i got a forerunner 50 for my bday!!!!! :j:j:j

i've done sod all walking since the 10k back in May, and good god did my legs ache afterwards!!!! (as in for days, not hours) but tonight i'm gonna crack open my garmin, strap on the HRM and go for a tootle with my pooch, should be nice if the rain stays away

Now i've reached my 1st goal of just to get round a 10k, i need a new goal, I'm thinking something along the lines of get round a 10k in sub 1:30?

btw here's the only decent photo of me actually running from the manchester 10k



oh and this was me at the end after being drenched by the rain from the 4km to 8km markers, oh and the stewards egged me on to run the last hundred yards to get a good photo, and i immediately got crippling cramp in both my calf muscles, which is why my face doesn't look happy lol

Ukevas

well done pink 10k in the bag you will be running swiftly round your first 1/2 marathon before you know it ..

Well back in the roads this PM aint run since last Thursday ..... shocking i know...

so think i will join the "easy" run clan tonight at Running club... have to take it easy with Southend in mind ... Ill be hunting down my WAVA hopefully hit under 1h 40m... but as allways we will see

thats 1hr and 40m of thinking ( OMG I must beat becky) :rotfl:
