Bang on the nose 10k in 53.50mins:j very hard course!!
All hills from start till finish even the 2 fellas with me thought it was a tough course compared to other 10k they have ran!!
The fella aiming for 37mins did it in 39.40 mins and my mate did it in 45.50 mins so I wasnt to bad after all!!
Glad it did the two 7.5 milers as I think they helped me finish the course, so my next 10k is in september and its fairly flat according to reviews so hoping for a quicker time!!!

Well done EC - thats a great first 10k time

Sounds like a tough course - dont think I'd enjoy it!!

Nice one EC - so you were fitter than you thought and probably have a 52 minutes 10K ready for that flat course.:DGt NW 1/2 Marathon 21/2/2010 (Target=1:22:59) (6:20/mile) 1:22:47 (6:19):j:j

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Clearly some of the WRs are out of date, but there has to be a stable basis on which to calculate otherwise the gradings would need to be re-computed every time a WR changes.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

Well done EC :T
Got out for 3 miles last night but owww legs are heavy and solid and achy. Couple of days off for me I think and if anyone knows a good way to relax muscles (polite suggestions only :rotfl:) let me know!

You can stick me on the list if you like
Oh and London 2010 too if I get a place! Nothing planned inbetween though yet, need to start looking for some races. Debt@16.12.09 £10,362.38, now debt free as of 29.02.2012."I cannot make my days longer so I strive to make them better."0 -

Not much to report from me. Squeezed in a standard 4 miler this morning before work.
southwester, you'll get there, but build it up slowly. If your body tells you to rest, then rest. "Heavy" legs are a dead giveaway. Have a day off and give your body time to strengthen and benefit from the work you've done.Running Club targets 20105KM - 21:00 21:55 (59.19%)10KM - 44:00 --:-- (0%)Half-Marathon - 1:45:00 HIT! 1:43:08 (57.84%)Marathon - 3:45:00 --:-- (0%)0
