Age-Grading is a way of measuring your running performance taking into account your age and sex....you can effectively score every run you do. Age-Grading is a way of measuring your running performance taking into account your age and gender.
How does Age-Graded Scoring work? Let's say a 55-year old male runs a marathon in 3:00:27. He would receive an Age-Graded Score of 80.21%. That is because, according to the Age-Graded Scoring tables, the ideal finish time for a 55-year old male is 2:24:22, and that's about 20% faster (about 36 minutes) than our 55-year old ran. Now let's say that a 27-year old male ran the same marathon in 2:45:47.
