Your age-grade score is 56.6% - Above Average.

  • A 45-year-old male runner scoring 56.6% is competing at the "Above Average" tier according to WMA road standards.
  • The WMA 100% benchmark for your age and sex at 10K is 28:18 - the pace all age-grade percentages are measured against.
  • Most club runners score between 50% and 65%. Consistent training typically improves your score even as your absolute times slow with age.
  • Age grading lets you compare performances across different ages and events on a fair, single scale - useful for tracking fitness trends year over year.

Next stepBuild your aerobic base with consistent easy running before targeting speed work. Adding 10-15% more weekly volume gradually is the most evidence-based route to improvement.
