If a female runs a 3:08 marathon, what is the male equivalent time?
If a female runs a 3:08 marathon, what is the male equivalent time?
Roughly 10% faster.
So around 2:50 maybe?
I'd say about 12% slower, so 2:47-2:48
IAAF Scoring Tables -- women's 3:08 = 789 points. 789 for a male = 2:34:34.
I think that's way too aggressive. Probably more in line with the 10-12%. Maybe ~15:00-20:00.
IAAF specifically says that the scoring tables don't work for comparison between men and women.
According to age grading tables 3:08 female is equivalent to 2:55 male.
