Age Graded Race Time calculator

 http://www.heartbreakhill.org/age_graded.htm

 This calculator is intended to provide you with an age-graded race time and an achievement percentile for a recent performance at a specific race distance.  Age-graded information allows you to:
 Adjust your performance to what it theoretically would have been during your prime running years (your 20's and a portion of your 30's depending on the race distance).

  • Judge your performance, using an achievement percentile, without bias for gender or the aging process (in other words, you are measured against a specific standard for your age and sex).  These percentiles can be interpreted as follows:
  • Over 90% --- World Class
  • Over 80% --- National Class
  • Over 70% --- Regional Class
  • Over 60% --- Local Class
My 1.17.55 half marathon P.B. set last year at 50 years old gives me an age adjusted time of 1.10.31 and puts me in National Class :0]
Sounds good but I wonder how true it is ?

Not sure about the 'class' definitions, but those A/G calculators are a pretty good guide to the times you might have run when younger (or what you might run when older).

For example, Keith Bateman's M55 PB suggests he may have run 27:27 as an open runner. Maybe. He definitely has the talent of a sub-28 runner.

Thanks Ewen, Whats interesting is say back in Roger Banisters day it was thought that you had run your best by 24 years of age.
In my cycle racing days it was thought your best years were around 28-30!
Keith Bateman and the like are showing its possible to extend a high level of performance for much longer!
