I want to make some badges to reward people for smooth pacing (see the 'Pacing' percentage on your training runs).

To help me design a couple of badges, can you help me come up with some good similes?

I'm thinking of stuff like "as smooth as a baby's backside", or "as smooth as Barry White drinking John Smiths".

I'll leave that with you.

But also... what's the highest pacing score you've had on your log? I typically get 94-95 on my consistent-paced runs, and managed a 96% just now. How about you?

Races usually - 94% in most recent, which over 26.2 miles I think is quite good, including round a cone and probably a faffed start shuffle across line, and post finish line failure to hit stop? :-) G

Given the nature of all my runs, it depends.

Last two races were both 0%. Though a training run over two big lumps on Saturday night was a surprising 66%.

Most of my easy road runs are 90-96%.

Is there anywhere to see your highest / a list?

Bit leftfield, but Michael Jackson's fedora from Smooth Criminal.

The Fonz would take some beating but Cary Grant might manage it. Topical too
