Club Standards
The Club Standards were first introduced in 2000. The idea behind them is to have race time targets (the standards) to which club members of all abilities can aim. The benefits are that they can help us to improve our own race times and our success in achieving a standard is recognised within the club.
The basic idea is that we have a range of 4 different levels which we have called bronze (the easiest), silver, gold and diamond (the hardest). We have defined standard times for each level for all the major road race distances and for each age category. To achieve a standard, you need to equal or better the standard time.
How They Work
Race Distances
They apply to the following standard road race distances: 5K, 5M, 10K, 10M, 1/2 Marathon 15M, 20M and Full Marathon, but you don't need to run all of these! To qualify, you need to equal or better the standard time for your age group. All you need is a copy of the official results as proof of your time.
How the Standard Times are Determined
We have based all the club standards on the World Standard Times published by the WAVA. These are times that a world champion athlete might expect to run and figures have been produced for every age at every standard distance. They are approximately the same as world records but are not actually records themselves.
Each of our standards is defined against the World Standard as follows:
- DIAMOND - World Standard + 20%
- GOLD - World Standard + 35%
- SILVER - World Standard + 50%
- BRONZE - World Standard + 65%
We have one set of standard times for the open age category and one set for each 5-year veteran category. For the veteran categories, we have used the world standards for the middle age in the range (e.g. times for the 40-44 age group are compared against the world standards for a 42 year old).
