    Yep, looking forward to the HTH in Bristol - 1:20 should be the mark by then with it still being 10-11 weeks away so keep those interval sessions going.:D:D

    I dont think Becky needs me to pace her round - any bloke with a decent set of calf muscles seems to be her criteria.:p:p

    Well, just checked my time - 1.07:57 :eek:
    I'm really gutted with that. I did the trail 10k faster than that - which was literally over stiles, up cobbles and through fields! So feeling a bit despondent....
    Hope you're happier with your time Sammy!

    All the way round I was saying "never again, never again", but I got home and checked out some other races :D I'm determined to improve!
    Guess I just need to put in more hours...

    Wow the official times are in fast for some of these races! Hope everyone is pleased, despite the heat and other distractions (note to self, avoid Chinese takeaway before my 1/2 :p;) ).

    Well done all on your races and running this weekend. Last week went well but my run was tough as the road was on an incline. This week I'm going to practice on the flat stretch and I am going to attempt a mile - does stopping and crawling count?
    Rich I got all enthusiastic after watching the London Marathon and I put myself down for the Adidas 5k in Hyde Park on 6th September. I so want to run it or my name will be mud on here.

    Not really! My time was 1.09.24 Thats my worst 10k for ages. In fact half way round I was thinking I should give this running lark up I'm getting worse not better. I hope I am not making excuses for myself but I am hoping it was just the cold that has made me go backwards.

    I have another race next weekend:eek:

    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%
