Age Graded Running Charts for Python
What is Age Grading? Age grading is grading run times based on a series of age factors or age standards which can be used to compare performances at different ages. Even if you will never set another absolute PR (Personal Record) at a given distance, you can still strive to achieve a higher age grade. For example: one of our local runners (who wishes to remain anonymous) set a 5K PR of 18:08 in 1978 at age 39. This would grade out at 73.8. In 1987 at age 48 he ran 18:17, which grades out at 78.2. And at age 61, he ran 21:17, which grades out at 75.1. This tells him that he is running better than when he ran his time PR, but not as well as he did at age 48.
The Age Graded Tables were developed over a period of years by the World Association of Veteran Athletes,(WAVA), the world governing body for masters track and field, long distance running, and race walking. The tables are used by WAVA to award prizes by age graded performance,
