Another
special web-based tool is
available as part of
our web site.
Our
Age Graded Calculator
provides you with an age-graded
race time and an achievement
percentile for a recent
performance at a specific
race distance. Age-graded
information allows you to:
-
Adjust
your performance to
what it theoretically
would have been during
your prime running years
(your 20's and a portion
of your 30's depending
on the race distance).
-
Judge
your performance, using
an achievement percentile,
without bias for gender
or the aging process
(in other words, you
are measured against
a specific standard
for your age and sex).
-
Compare your performances
for a specific race
distance at various
ages to determine which
was your "best race".
-
Get
a
10%
discount on all purchases
at Marathon Sports
in Wellesley, Brookline,
Boston, and Cambridge.
Just mention that you're
a Heartbreak Hill Striders
member and ask for one of
their discount cards.
