I recently had an e-mail from Craig Johnson at Hermitage Harriers telling us about a new feature of their online results database.

Many of you will have used this, but for anyone who has not Hermitage have over the last few years obtained many hundreds, even thousands of results from LRRL races. The results from each race have been analysed, and by using some very clever maths, they have been able to apply difficulty ratings to each race. From that, they are able to pretty accurately predict race times for upcoming LRRL races. As new results come in, the predicted times are recalculated.

If you would like to see your predicted times for the remaining LRRL races, then simply visit their website, select the results from any previous 2010 LRRL race, then click on the appropriate name, the predicted times will be displayed on the left side of the screen.
