  • Evab, is it only 5 weeks to your marathon - I'd be so scared! But I"m sure you're far more capable than me. I'm going to be walking around the office like a cowboy tomorrow. Grief, what shoes can I wear to work that I can walk in!

    Yep! Sales of Imodium are likely to soar - sorry not nice detail!

    Why don't you dress like a cowboy and say it's for Children in Need - no questions asked :-)

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    Clearly some of the WRs are out of date, but there has to be a stable basis on which to calculate otherwise the gradings would need to be re-computed every time a WR changes.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

    Morning :D

    Um must have taken it way too easy yesterday...todays session was:
    8:21 warm up (its not quite a mile)
    7:54, 7:53 and 7:55
    11:02 cool down (over a mile)

    Ooooo I feel good - the last one was hard work but otherwise all good - sub 8 minutes whoooooop :D

    Well done on the runs B.J. and evab! Great new pb for Mrsplinter - that course can really make you pay if you go off too fast so I expect you'll break it again in two weeks :D

    Alias - dont remember seeing you - didnt use the baggage buses but I was rather absorbed in my conversation with Rich after the race about something or other ;)
  • Great session, Becky - and bang on what we were suggesting yesterday. Delivered like a professional!:D:D

    I bet that felt good!

    Well my 10k pb is very soft anyway - the course was super tough and I ran the race soooo badly!!!

    We'll see if the thighs ache anymore tomorrow...
