I don't think either of the clubs I'm in have a concept of standards. Lots of races in on and off road champs and a parkrun series inviter including volunteering and things. But no standards. :-) G

Interestingly, my club have today announced "...Everything stems from percentages of age-cat World Records, so thanks to super-shoes, we'd risk having a very short Presentation Night, unless we adapted some of the percentages - as has always been the case previously.
The new Club Standards are attached and apply immediately (any Standards claimed already this year would still have been standards aswell anyway!😅 )
Depending on the distance/standard, you might see some small changes for better or worse but only by small margins."

I had no idea this was in the pipeline. It means that my new bronze target for 5k is 23.58 and I ran 23.55 at Southsea parkrun in January. It won't count as the new times have started 2 days ago but I'm really pleased it makes the targets more achievable for more people.

Got something to say?

I've got a 1st claim club and a 2nd claim club.

For me, as a 48 year male, to get a bronze 5K standard, I would need the following times:

Clowne RC: 23.26 (48 male)

North Derbyshire RC: 20:38 (45-49 category)

I was wondering if anyone who's in a club has a similar club standard award and what your time would have to be for a 48 year male?
