Problem with Personal Records (Read 918 times)

Make sure that you are logging these as run type = "race".

Harold, I looked into your log and found the problem. You created your own race type and assigned the half to this one. Each workout type, including race, has a unique number that identifies it. The server uses this number to identify each type and the name you gave it is only for display purposes. Here's how you should correct the problem. Go back to the options page and rename the type "race" that you created to something else (e.g. "my race") so you can differentiate it from the system "race" type. Go to the search page and search for all run types of "my race". Edit each of the entries of the type "my race" and change the type back to the default race type. After that, you can delete "my race" from your run types list. Your PRs will be generated correctly after that. eric

I have a similar issue. I went back and found a bunch of old races and entered them in, I thought I listed them as races, I doubled checked and they are listed as races but they are not showing up in the personal records. So I am not sure what I am doing wrong. It did actually pick up one of my earlier times for one of my established races and list that as a a record (since topped). So I am not really sure what is happening. This image shows that I have the type as "race" but they don't show up as personal records.

Yeah, it is a totally different race. Shouldn't each new race event show up? The June Moon I only ran 3 times way back, but I would expect that to show up in personal records for a total of 3 events

Well that would explain it... For some reason I expected to see it by event since each race course is different, held at different times of the year, or time of day that it would mean more that way. The way I see it, my time for a June race in the evening would be way different than an April race in the morning on two distinct courses - could just be because I am a bad runner and fluctuate so much. anyway, thanks for the explanation.

Yeah times will vary by conditions...but even if you had the same event 2 years in a row conditions could vary wildly. Last year my "Helvetia Half" was 52 degrees and drizzly. This year it could be 75 and sunny. The only constant is distance...that's why PR's are "at a distance". The other category...what you are talking about would be your Course Record. Which is why I like to label my races accurately so over the years I can see how I do on a course. Cheers!
