Example if someone is a 15 flat minute runner and improves 15% by let's say improve mileage and diet what would his new time be? How do you calculate this?

i've done some of these for purposes of voting on my club's most improved runner of the year. We just took the amt. of improvement in seconds as a % of original time.
So in your example, 15:00 = 900 seconds. 15% of 900 = 135. So the runner would have to have taken 135 seconds off, resulting in a new time of 765 seconds, aka 12:45.
runner would then be accused of doping on the LRC boards!
