Never run a HM but signed up for Brighton in Feb. If we are expanding tables my best and only 10k was 50:17

Half PB for me is 1:23:20 which I set earlier this year. Tried to crack 1:20:00 about a month ago but it was a bit of a greedy attempt and the aggressive pace at the start mixed with a headwind for part of the course destroyed me. Ended up crossing the line in 1:24:35, which is a shame because if I had been smart with pacing I could have PB'd despite not getting close to 1:20.

Oh and my 10K PB is 36:55 - the first (and probably only) race I've ever won! It wasn't a very big event 
Ohhhh a PB table - excellent stuff.
Mine are
49.59 10k (Worthing 4.6.2017) - my first ever was 58.53 Horsham 17.5.2015
1.27.48 10 miles (GSR Portsmouth 23.10.2016) - only one I have done but doing 2 later this year (Bright10 and GSR again)
1.53.18 HM (Brighton 2.2.2017) - my first was Brighton 2.22.06 Feb 2011
4.28.36 M (Limassol 19.3.2017) - my first was Brighton 5.46.34 April 2011 (and yes after that one I said NEVER EVER again
)
Most set this year. Only ever done 1 x 5k park run and that was with a massive hangover and my time was 25.58 (very nearly sick half way round!!)

Ohh, while we're discussing PBs what's your best ever single 1K?
Now what's your best ever single 1K time running in the summer, in India, in full uniform, carrying a live 20lb BOMB?

Hopefully his Garmin was on as that's a segment I bet no one else will challenge.

I notice all those who have never edited the 5k table want to add numerous more tables.
There are a few problems with using the present 5k table.
First you have to go back hundreds of post to find the last table. If you miss the last table and get one from before it will be wrong and you screw up the table.
It's difficult to do without using a PC.
Third it's easy to miss out a ] or [ or even a /] and then you screw up the table.
Fourth I'm only around for about 4 weeks till the end of the year.....

What about an end of year table which we could reproduce each year end.
It would carry SB & PB for distance between 5k & marathon.

But then the question is, how do you get ranked in the table? Or are we expecting the gaffer to step up and work out the average MPH for all and rank people by overall MPH of their PBs? It would get to be a bit crazy. I'm not suggesting it's not a good idea, just difficult to determine how to rank it.
I think one thing we can agree on, as a majority, is that Australian people need not be included.

Average MPH I like that.
Or an aggregate time across the various distances.

I agree, best to keep the Aussies away from these tables. I have enough trouble trying to beat them in races here
I'm not even trying to deny it
In all seriousness, people don't tend to get PBs too often at longer distances. It's really the frequency and volume of Parkruns completed by people on this thread that makes the 5km table such an untamed beast that only you seem to have under control. I think the other tables would be nice as a one off so maybe the suggestion of producing them at the end of each year as a season review is a good one.
I knocked out 10km tonight in 48:18 which is more like it. Bring on the 21.1km!
7:46 pace gives a half marathon time of 1:41:19. I think you're on a runner's high and needed to hold back yesterday. It will hit you on the weekend, so make sure you pace accordingly. Difficult when you're improving as much as you are. I'd be starting out at 8:15-8:30 pace for a good few miles with the plan of a sustained fast finish. Good luck sounds like you're up for it.
Now about this Table business, I have no objection to someone doing that. However, if you all think I'm going to spend 6 weeks in the Annapurna in front of yak dung stoves compiling various distance running leagues, you have not met Mrs Knocky!

Looks like we are both planning an HM on Sunday. I reckon our times might be close. I've got experience, a flat course and a faster 5k on my side. You have (relative!) youth and probably a better recent training schedule on yours. Plus you are a 'hungry fighter'. Not sure how tough your course will be. I reckon I could get anything between 1.48-1.58. You?
As for some sort of 'meta' performance table my view is that I suspect we've not got the resources and it might well get over-complicated? There's nothing to stop us posting our individual times for 2017 around 31/12/17 in some sort of common format: Ultra/Marathon/HM/10 mile/10K (the 5K is already covered). (But not with AGs?) The current 5k table is a thing of rare beauty and impossible to replicate in its full magnificence. Having said this if anyone wants to oversee and 'manage' the process then all respect!
Back down to page 4 while everyone was distracted by that (non) transfer nonsense.

Yes please. A great race so I'll be entering this weekend. I've also entered the Downland Devil the weekend before in Lancing.
I'm in. This is just the sort of race I'm after to get my training head back on. Should be back to light jogging next week and I need something to aim for. I also like mince pies and am happy to eat spares
Yes I'm up for this pre-Christmas double too.
There will be pacers for 19 to 31 mins I believe
