Hi everyone! Great workout this past Tuesday - there were so many of you out there running fast, it was really great to see everyone starting up their new years right.
As you could see we are sharing space with the high school soccer teams. Everything is going smoothly but let's all just remember to share the track with the teams that are there so that we have no problems in the future and that everyone gets along.
Coach Frank brought these links to my attention and thought that we might all enjoy them. This system lets a runner put in the their age and time to rank them against other runners of different ages.
This system was used in Chuck Osborne's World Runners 5K-10K race on Jan 1. It showed some older runners times were at a higher level(%) than some of the younger people who finished in a faster elapsed time.
Check it out---the calculator is first and below it an explanation. (I will also place these in the links section.)

Better explanation here but no calculator!

PS - a little birdy told me that Coach Frank finished 2nd in his age group at the New Years run. GO COACH!
