haha you are not gonna get me so quick.
According to those tables that you love, my best modern performace is my HM (281pts) and my worst is my mile (181) my 10k is better than my 5k and my Marathon is not far behind (and it is my softest pb by far which I will soon beat).
Despite all that the one 200m I ran fast in training trumps all these on those tables
You'd think If I was such a fast twitcher then My mile PB would be much better than my long distance pbs...?
How much training did you do for the mile?
If you have natural speed (which you certainly do) then you can run a fast 100 and 200 off relatively little training. This is not the case for the mile. I’d be pretty confident that if you took mile training as seriously as you do half marathon and marathon training, you’d be running far better over the mile than you ever will over the marathon.0 -

None other than 5k training which invlolved 200m and 400m intervals.
we'll see. I'll come back to you when I break 3 hours for a marathon

Hey D, I wonder could you do me a favour and add the 60m as an event on the table which I could use as one of my 5 events?
Thanks

Thanks
To be honest the 60m is so similar to the 100m, that adding that in then it would be like adding in the mile for the 1500m runners, the 1k for the 800m runners, the 300m for the 400m runners. My suggestion would be to keep it at the standard events. The idea is to get people doing 5 different events. The 60m and 100m are basically the same thing really.0 -

0.6 of the distance of 100m is not basically the same.
and I want to start with 596 points to my score : )
Sprinting as hard as you can in a straight line for 60m and sprinting as hard as you can in a straight line for 100m. Not a huge deal of difference in them. The guys who are the best at 100m are the guys who are the best at 60m (if they opt to do indoors that is).
Just my opinion. Others may differ, but if we start bringing in the 60m, then why not the mile, in which case a good 1500m runner will get 2 events for the price of one really 0 -

Yeah and throw in a couple of more columns for beach volleyball and greco roman wrestling while you are at it
The Heptathlon and Decathlon are Olympic events part of Track and Field and are included in the IAAF tables along with all the other outdoor track events. Not sure I get the comparison with Greco Roman Wrestling. 0 -

I am agreeing with you, all we need now is to work out how to fit in another 20 columns cause I have loads of ideas...but would be good to have it there for completeness as it is an Olympic event.0 -

Awesome well done Nice 400m result there btw. What's the target for the outdoor season?
Only thing to take into consideration is that the points for men and women aren't really comparable, hence why they have 2 tables, one for men and one for women. Looking at the tables a women's 78 second 400m for example gets the same points as a sub 60 for men, but we know in reality these are not even close to similar performances. But on the opening page of the IAAF tables he does say that men and womens performances shouldn't be compared, hence the different tables.
Due to obvious biological differences, it is not proposed to fully compare men's and women's performances. Thus, the system contains scoring tables for men's and women's events respectively.
Really not sure how else we can do this though. Just with the nature of the points it will mean the women will be miles out in front in this challenge 0 -
Its times like these its an advantage to be a women
But the option could be if the mods create a competition for males and females. Maybe not yet as there are only three of us some far but at the end of the year if there are enough people.
Awh but sure nobody has a hope in beating me I am only joking of course!!!!
My plan last year/year before was to run 40 for 300mts to get to EYOF's or Celtics or something but the auld Leaving Cert got in the way. Have the nationals coming up in 3 weeks so hopefully will go below 60 which is my first mark to hit and work from there really. Hopefully training will go my way. But really happy with my long jump result this year as well has come on so much first time to finally get the 5 m mark 0 -

Well done. You appear to have a reasonable amount of talent. Just to put things into perspective at a grassroots level down here in Melbourne, at your average track meet, out of usually 70-80 women who might run a 400m each week, only around 5 tend to go below 60. 63 indoors is impressive, you'll get there soon.
And I agree, let's introduce categories for Male and Female, and leave it all in the one table for now. Maybe if it really takes off in the summer then we could split it into men's and women's tables.
P.S. What on earth did ya do with the Heptathlon and Decathlon columns I added a few days ago? 0 -
Thanks asimonov and 04072511.
Thanks for that comment 04072511. Don't think I will give Joanne Cuddihy a run for her money yet do!!!!
I am so sorry only seen that now!!!!!! :eek: I put it back in don't worry, sorry. There not the easiest tables to work it!!!!
Here's to everyone progressing this year too and that this will involve a large amount of people and we will have a good competition going 0 -

Updated for a very satisfying half a second PB of 58.68 tonight in the 400m at the Victorian State Championships.
200 and Long Jump to come on Sunday, and then in 3 weeks time I will have one last bash at the 800m and Triple Jump at our last meet (low key) of the season. Then I'll have a target for all the blokes to try surpass After the end of March I wont have any more races until September/ October. 0 -

Ran my first 100m of the season a few weeks ago at the Powerade Challenge in Santry and hope to improve on this on Sunday at the AAI games.
The first 200m of the season last Wednesday was at the Dublin Graded in Irishtown. Both times were pbs.
I may run a 400m this month but it really depends on if I can get some training in for it, I may leave it till near the end of the season though..
Great running. Many people here won't realise but those times of yours are up there among the very best of any regular ART boardsie times at any distance.
Fascinated to see your 400 time. I reckon your top speed will get you under 60 even without the specific training. With specific training 55/56 is there for the taking.
You should easily overtake me in these tables but to do so you will need a 4th and 5th event, so what will they be? Long Jump? Triple Jump? 800m?.....Decathlon? 0 -

You shouldn't bandy around assumptions like that so easily, there are more people interested in sprints than you think, they just don't talk about it the whole time.
Great running Randymann, I used to be a 100m runner as a kid and was pretty good at it, won a couple of All Ireland medals, going to give it a go at the Graded meets on Wednesday evening hopefully, will be my first sprint race in over 10 years! :eek: Have no specific training done so it could be embarrassing.0 -

Thanks 04.
To put my times in perspective, the 2 top guys I will be racing against in the over 40 masters are running 23.7/23.8 200s and 11.7/11.8 100s(All Ireland Masters2011)
http://www.athleticsireland.ie/content/wp-content/uploads/2006/05/masters-men.pdf
So there is a lot of work to do to get near these guys and it wont happen this year.
The one thing I am concerned about training for a 400 is that I will be robbing days out of my week for the 100/200 work. What I mean to say is that there is only so much in the tank for a weeks training that I am always on the verge of doing too much/burn out. If I train for a 400 I am thinking my 100 speed will suffer. If I do race a 400, it will most probably be off 200m work so I will use the race for conditioning.
Having said this, to go under 60 would be a milestone.
I may try the long jump too for fun, never did that before. Decathlon, forget it 0 -

Thanks pc. Its never too late to come back. It would be good to see more sprinters posting here . Are you still at senior level or are you breaking into masters category? What sort of running/training are you doing at the moment?
Best of luck on Wednesday, I may be there myself as I am not sure whether I will race tomorrow or wait till Wednesday instead as my shins are still tender.0 -

Hey pc, just realised that there is no 100m on Wednesday. Good luck in the 3k if you are going to do it.
Hi RM, yeah just looked over the programme last night and realised that, must have confused it with another meet. Bit disappointing but I think I'll give the 3k a lash anyway, best of luck if you make it up! 0 -

Super 400m there karkar. A quick look on the AAI website tells me that such a time would have placed you 12th in the national senior championships over the distance. Keep up the good work. Whats the next target?0 -

Thanks Pisco Sour, didn't run in the seniors because I have had four weeks block of racing previous to the seniors so had that weekend off, now I have a further 3 weeks of competition and one last weekend and I have only trained during the week previous to the start of the whole block. With only 6 weeks of solid training and competition my legs are getting a bit tried and knackered, they we're killing me last night . Don't think I have any more 400's this unfortunetly , really wanted to go below 59 now. I have the national league next weekend but don't think I will get the 400, I have got the 400mh instead :mad:.
And randyman with a 200m time like that, you would have a fair 400m time aswell 0 -

The "stuff" I mentioned might include a 400
I was considering giving another couple of events a go at the Masters All Ireland in August but it depends on what is up first. The 100 and 200 are my events so if they are over, I could try a 400 and a long jump.0 -

Well that's super running, and no doubt you will continue to progress and will be down in the 56/57's in no time. It's also good to see that I am not the only one with a ridiculous drop off from 400 to 800.
What's your 100 and 200 times? I'd imagine they must be pretty quick?
Throw your times down on the Men's 10 Round Numbers thread. 1) It shouldn't be for just men, but for anybody who reaches the standards, and 2) I'm getting a bit sick of seeing only my name under the 400m.:)0 -
