I have noticed that most people put down there runs in Kilometres, 5KM 10KM 20KM and such like.
Now Im a mile type of guy, Is this just me showing my age or does anyone else still clock up the miles rather than the Kms??

 

[john.ump]

I'm a mile man aswell.

Well 10K is one of the most common races distances, and 5 and 10Ks a good intro for beginners before considering stepping up to a half or full marathon, so it makes sense to track progress in Ks. Having said that the spreadsheet I use to log runs gives both Ks and miles in the stats, so I'm familiar with my pace in either.

Its easy to convert one to the other so I dont think it matters really, personally I like miles as I can understand them!

 

[JBBury]

I prefer to think in terms of parsecs

 

[Squint]

Speadsheets to track pace!!! Christ sounds serious!!

 

[Squint]

ah the good old parsec the biggest single unit of measurement.

 

[Liz3yy]

Pacsecs?!.....................erm...........

 

[Squint]

1 parsec is 19173511691720.35 miles

 

[JBBury]

A parsec is a parallax of one arcsecond. The length of a parsec is 30.857 petametres, 3.26156 light-years or 1.9174×1013 miles.

 

[Squint]

a unit of measurement for angles and distances between stars.

 

[Steve]

Miles for me..and pounds...

...metric, pah!!

 

[Owain]

Miles for me unless running a 5 or 10k race

All my training is miles.

O.

why didn't you just say that in the first place. i would have understood straight away:d

 

[Hrun]

1 parsec is 19173511691720.35 miles

Is that the race Trinity has signed up for. Doesn't sound much, a 1 parsec race

 

[Trinity]

That'll be the one yep...

hoping for a PB

 

[Hrun]

Forget a PB, just finishing in your lifetime would be an achievement.

 

[Grant]

I usually do all my training in miles, even if I'm training for a 5km or 10km.

 

[Trinity]

LOL the same could be said for the race I entered :d



I always think in miles... even during a 5K or 10k, I have little calculations going on in my head...takes my mind off the pain

 

[roadrunnerrob]

I'm all metric until I've run 16.1k - then I tell people I've done 10 miles and forget about metric :lol:
