  • BrookesAndrew have you seen the age grading calculators. These give you a more objective comparison of your time.

    i've never run more than 16 Km. I can run 10 km in an hour without feeling like death so im guessing i could do a half marathon in 2 hours.


    Or is this a trick question and the answer is about 15 seconds (i have a similar time when eating half a mars bar). :rotfl:

    I have never been a fast runner. I do roughly 10 minute miles and my best time is 2 hours 15.

    Whilst i won't be the fastest, it's the competing that counts. I run faster than those eating pizza on the settee!

    1h 21m on my 1st and last one! I swear I don't hurt on 100-150 mile ultras as much as I did on that half haha
  • 1 hour 21 is very impressive! Well done.

    I got 1 hour and 49 minutes recently. Would love to go sub 1 hour 30.

    I'll be happy with that time in September when I attempt to bring my half time down.
