The McMillan pace calculator is useful to me. It gives me an idea of what my training paces should be in relation to each others and to some of my recent race results.
PRs: Boston Marathon, 3:27, April 15th 2013
Cornwall Half-Marathon, 1:35, April 27th 2013
18 marathons, 18 BQs since 2010
Most of us know Marathonguide.com, but maybe some new runners are unaware of this site which lists and rates most marathons all over the world. I use it all the time and have made many contributions to it.
Another one of my all time favorites is Find My Marathon. I use the site essentially to compare the courses and conditions (such as average weather on race day) between different marathons. You can also create your own pace band there.
Ha! Another one we can argue about! But yes I have that site bookmarked & use it all the time.
There is a comparable site (race time predictor + training paces) from Daniels.
Race finders - the two I use most:
findmymarathon.com (specific to marathons, naturally)
runningintheusa.com (for all races)
Not sure what kind of coverage these sites have for Canada!

We are there, right at the bottom. You just don't notice us, as usual.
Sorry I was distracted, too busy age-grading all my PR's.
Now you get it! Good man!
Jim2's page on the hillrunner website is full of well-written, insightful articles written by a man we all loved and respected.
Athlinks and Sportstats (for some Canadian and American races) for race results. But please do not look up my name as there are apparently 4 of us with the same name and some are slower and other faster than me and I really do not like to be compared. (it's a joke)
Thanks for all the explanations of age grading. I've concluded that it's pretty irrelevant FOR ME, as I'm totally not competitive, I have been running less than 10 years so don't have much history, and apparently I don't care what ~could have been~, but wasn't.
Calculate time, distance, or pace from the other two variables:

Time calculator for adding time in hour:minute:second format:

Comes in handy on when to start training.

What's wrong with the one right here on RA?

I have been trying to use that one a bit more as of late, but have used the one on Marathon Guide for so long that it comes up automatically when I type ma into my browser.
I guess we are creatures of habit in that regard.
