Stumpy Oct 2006 10:42am, 27 Oct 2006 0 posts	Stumpy A65 basically it puts all runners, no matter what their age on an 'equal' footing in theory. look here for more info. serpentine.org.uk Fetch also has an age grading section in it. so you can type in your 5k time and age and see what your 'peak' 5k time would be/have been at 'peak' potential age.

(or more than halfway to a world record if you prefer that way of looking at it ) and with a longer term view it will allow you to compare your performances in 10-15 years time and have a grasp of how well you are doing. ie staying on a percentile line or going above it rather than chasing unrealistic PB's

It still puts you way ahead of most of the population who can't even run 5km! techy bit = the formula for age grading is very simple - it takes the world record for your age and gender and divides it by your time - then represents the resulting fraction as a percentage.
