    No need...there are perfect age/gender grading tables that could be used. AMK would be hard beaten but that's the challenge for ye whippersnappers :pac:

    I think a handicap system is better S....those tables might automatically put a few posters out of the running?

    Do yis not forget that I haven't beaten Healy & MY in a race since God was a very bold boy. I think Healy has 10 years on me and MY must have at least 20 (jaysus, he could be my son...........)

    Any Age grading would want to be very beneficial for me.

    Then again - Murph must be close to 100 by now?? :pac:

    Not sure of any of your ages but I'll run with this to see if you think it might be beneficial or not :pac:

    If a 45 year old man ran a 17:20 5k the comparable times are as follows....

    35M : 15:45
    40M : 16:40
    50M : 18:03
    55M : 18:46
    60M : 19:36

    and for someone who might be interested....42F : 18:55 ;)

    Do we have a 17:20 45 year old? If so well then that is the benchmark for us all. Based on that I'd need 18:29.... I'm up for that this year :pac:

    S is proposing something like an 82% standard there. Very tough, but why not aim high? If we survive the health and economic fallout from this thing we will be due a good blowout.

    I'm not sure but probably is....and now he has the new shoes too! The tables do put some level of perspective on people's times though.

    I thought you might be :pac: If your 47 year old friend could run 17:35 he would marginally beat all those times...;)

    Unfortunately this superhuman challenge seems to have scared most pretenders away :eek:

    How about everyone runs a 5k or a 3k time trial. We take the fastest time and then everyone else's handicap is their percentage of the winners time, and we use that for the following 'event' and so on.

    Eg. I run the fastest 5k in 20:00, AMK runs it in 21:00. AMK's time is 105% of the leading time, so for the next event he gets a 5% time handicap. Everyone can have a rattle then, and we don't need to worrying about 16:40's :)

    Quite a few running crowns in my area held by bikes and GPS glitches :pac: Getting a top 10 performance would be an achievement on most.

    But if I ran 21:59 then in the next race, I'd have a better handicap :cool:
