Use Your Running Calculators

Feeling a little frustrated at my slow 5K times, I went to the age-graded calculator at runnersworld.com to gauge the effects of aging. To my pleasant surprise, using 56 years as my age (Aug 29), my most recent time of 18:18 translates to a 15:14, which is close to what I actually ran on the roads in my younger days.

Using the McMillan Running Calculator, I am predicted to run a 2hr 58 min 24 sec marathon, close to my 2 hr 55 min run at Napa Valley in Feb.

I feel better now.
