  • Alias - 'looked rather stupid?' - I don't think so. :D The trousers look great and unless that photo is lying the tshirt isn't a bad shade of orange? However, are those new trainers I spy? They look a bit clean and shiny to me - think you need to find some muddy puddles ;)

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    Clearly some of the WRs are out of date, but there has to be a stable basis on which to calculate otherwise the gradings would need to be re-computed every time a WR changes.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

    Hi all, I've done 10 miles this afternoon - really pleased to achieve another little goal on my journey. Making a huge amount of lasagne for tea then will be relaxing for the evening.

    Can you add Snowdon Marathon on 24th October for me please Rich, thanks.
