I sat between 1 and 2, chances are I'll drop as I have no race plans above 5k this year. Of course I may do some pace making at some point up to half marathon so...

I'm going to start a horrifying plummet next week, after last March's 1:39:something half falls off. Taking with it a 10k time 60 seconds better than my more recent actual 10k. I have a month left on a decent (for me) full marathon then things will get even worse. I should probably do a road race at some point!

Badger nothing in my portfolio above 5k was raced flat out as a standalone effort. Now the pace making is also about to go. I could be in div 20 before the year is out but with a good mile and 5k time :-)

For anyone that missed it, I'm gathering opinions on whether to exclude treadmill times from UTMOST:

For people who believe they have accurately calibrated alternate running devices (aka treadmills, but not all of them!) I'd suggest allowing manually uploaded times. I would trust Fetchies to do so honestly.

Then edge cases of people who live in snowy places, or train in isolation (remember Bosun Tony doing his marathon training on a supply ship in the North Sea?.!) they could still participate? :-) G

I don't mind the mill being Included unless obviously stupid , using the same algorithm for when the gamin gives you a 2min mile :-)

Up to D12 today.


Treadmills is a tricky subject because one could just set it going at WR marathon pace and then go and watch The Simpsons for a while before uploading an astonishing run.

Conversely, some people don't like running outside (weather/safety/location etc) and so are using it genuinely to get their training in.

Is there a possibility of only accepting entries where the use has used a footpod? I've not used one for years, but they can be calibrated for distance & pace, right?

About This Thread

Maintained by fetcheveryone
Start in the bottom division, and compete over seven different distances against your rivals for weekly promotion!

How It Works
1) The game takes your best times from training and racing over the last 12 months.

2) If you've got the fastest 5k in your division, you get 20 points. If you're second fastest, you get 19 points, etc.

3) Your FIVE best scores are used to calculate your total. So if your scores at each distance are 20,20,20,20,20,10,5 the lowest two are discarded, and your total points would be 100.

4) Promotion and relegation happen every Monday at midday.
