What are we using to work out Age Grade?
Is it our actual age or how old we currently feel, late 70’s for me if that’s the case

Running or cycling? 
I’m guessing not swimming at the moment 
going to have a crack on Tuesday - I guess I’ll have a km or 2 warm up - stop watch blast out a mile - then start another run for my plod home!

Did a run with the gf but then ran home solo. Threw in a fast mile on the way back. Not exactly ideal in this heat, plus hydration backpack for the two of us, plus my phone etc on me. Also, no cheat shoes!
15s slower than my road mile pb
Definitely don’t want to see any simple 1.60km “miles” 
I have a “race” activity profile that is setup to autolap in miles, even though the watch is setup metric (you just set the watch to imperial, set it to 1 mile autolap, then turn it back to metric)
EDIT - Apparently 70.03% age graded

What was your 1M time again?
Also, does it have to be flat 
Yep, honesty wins here. Flat or as close to net zero as poss.
Or we could have a blatant downhill cat. Let the quad murdering begin!
Well I’ve only got flat round here!

I’ll have a bash this week and throw my hat in the ring
That could be scary!
I kind of cheated. To compensate for the backpack and being part of a longer run, I incorporated a net downhill stretch into the middle of mine. Surprising to remember how much fast running hurts. I was wanting to stop after a km, and yet was probably only going a fraction faster than my 5k best!

There’s such a big difference between a km and a mile. The km I can hang on at close to dull beans, but the mile needs pacing.
Are we allowed to use Nike’s 
I suspect any benefit is fairly negligible over a mile.
If you do I am knocking at least 4% off my time

My fastest this year is 6:45 in magic shoes.

Managed 6:12 earlier in the week, but that was at the end of a hard interval session.
Will try specifically over the next couple of weeks, see where I end up!
