Forums >Racing>Is it "wrong" to count official split times as PRs?
not bad for mile 25
"Implied PR" is the correct terminology.
If my actual PRs lived up to the implied PRs, it wouldn't be an issue. There must be places I can get Implied PR medals, I would think.
Now, next question: Is it "wrong" to extrapolate a marathon PR from my 5K time?
Not wrong, just ill-advised.

I've got a fever...
Oh, that fine. I've got PRs extrapolated from my best mile time for distances I've never run. I mean, statistically, they're equivalent, so I'm counting them.
On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.
I just checked, and Hicham El Guerrouj's marathon record is 1:37:26. Nice.
Tragic hip
Wow. That went on a lot longer than I remembered.

Hey, I set a marathon PR! 2:51:28! It hard work. I took all of my PRs from 25-30 years ago, plotted them as Time vs Distance on log-log axes, did a power fit, and extrapolated out to 26.2 miles. Whew!
Good work, whatever the hell you did.
Consistently Slow
Works for me Now I can be a 15:25:20 hundred miler.
YAY,me!
Run until the trail runs out.

The pain that hurts the worse is the imagined pain. One of the most difficult arts of racing is learning to ignore the imagined pain and just live with the present pain (which is always bearable.) - Jeff
