RoadRaceStatistics is here just for the average runner, middle of the road, middle of the pack runner who is curious about what a recent race results tells them.
It has come about because once I asked myself "I have finished my 10km race in 45 minutes, is this good, and just how good is it?". So I had a look at the race results - top half of the pack, pretty good. Then I asked myself, was my "just faster than the middle of the pack" typical for my speed - if I ran another race with this speed, where might I have come? Hmmmm... Time to do some research
After a few wasted hours online, and a lot of scribbled bits of paper, I have found a sort of average finish time for 5km, 10km, Half Marathon and Marathon races (in the UK anyway).
