For a bit of fun we have this month converted the February 5k results into age graded positions, I have posted these on the forum, Bobby jumps into first place and Kate into fourth, it would be interesting to get feedback weather you would like to see the monthly results also converted to age grading, I have used the calculator on the below website

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)
over 90% = world class
over 80% = national class
over 70% = regional class
over 60% – local class
