Distinguishing of PRs for different kinds of races (Read 769 times)

I think it would be nice if there was a way to display multiple PRs for races of the same distance but are different kinds of races. For example, being able to see different PRs for a distance such a 5k:

PRs

5k-cross country             15:00

5k- track                         14:39

5k- road                          14:45

or races with obstacles:

3000 m                          8:26

3000 m steeplechase      8:59

Does anyone else think this is a good idea?

 I like it! I also currently only run road races but Im looking into doing XC for my university next year. Since you seem to do both I'll ask you:

How much slower can you expect to do on a pretty flat XC course vs a flat road course - just generally, is it much slower?

To answer your question Kimmi311, it all depends on the course. However, you can always expect to run slower on grass and path than street (asphalt and concrete) because the surface is softer and absorbs more of your push. Even a track's durometer (hardness) can make a difference.

Milktruck, That's a good idea and I believe that would work but I wouldn't want to do that because I consider all those types of races still under the category of running.
