Simon Bacon Aug 2016 6:56pm, 20 Aug 2016 First-time poster!!	0 Simon Bacon What is an average time for a 46 year old male to run a half marathon?
Sharkie Aug 2016 7:02pm, 20 Aug 2016 9762 posts	0 Sharkie I think that's a bit of an impossible question! My other half saw himself as a very average runner and did a couple of half maras at around 1:40 when he was in his mid 40s. Bu there are so many variables - not least what do you call average!

Velociraptor Aug 2016 7:30pm, 20 Aug 2016 34340 posts	0 Velociraptor Please miss, I know this! Or at least, this handy calculator runbayou.com tells me that a 46-year-old man will score a 50% WAVA if he runs a half marathon in 2:07:50

Sharkie Aug 2016 7:51pm, 20 Aug 2016 9763 posts	0 Sharkie I looked at that too - but it seems unreasonably slow for a 46 year old bloke! I always see 60 percent as average, even though obviously 50% is.
Velociraptor Aug 2016 8:03pm, 20 Aug 2016 34341 posts	0 Velociraptor Raffo's a better runner than you gave him credit for, Sharkie
Sharkie Aug 2016 8:17pm, 20 Aug 2016 9764 posts	0 Sharkie I think that's where I got the idea 60% is average from V-rap. He INSISTS he is only 'very average'. And, YOU, missis have room to talk! You always go on about being mediocre and rare;y score anything lower than 70 never mind 60 percent!
Dvorak 17 Jan 2:31pm, 17 Jan 2021 21773 posts	0 Dvorak V'rap's link unfortunately has rotted, but this link will give you, yes you personalised times for popular distances at specific wavas fetcheveryone.com/race-standards.php There is a calculator here fetcheveryone.com/training-calculators-wava.php What is average? I reckon the median wava of those who actually run events is probably around 55, mean time wava around 57-58. I agree that Raffo underestimates himself.

Got something to say?
