Is there a calculator online that will be able to determine the value of each? Also how can we measure across age and sex performances, is there a running calculator available for that also, she wants to compare her running times to mine?
Dude, I'm also 44, and with about 4 months of targeting a 5:05 mile, I could do it, but I NEVER ran a 10k under 32 minutes (32:25 is my PR). You're really far off here. Now, if you're 30 pounds overweight, then at age 44 that's an impressive feat, but your 31:48 10k is a much better performance.
