    5 year age categories please

    Here is a plea to race organisers (from a race organiser) to please show your results in 5 year age splits. 10 year age groupings are far too wide, I want to compare myself with someone who may be 5 years younger than me not 10. I can understand race organisers not wanting to provide prizes for all of the 5 year groupings and I am not asking for that, only for results purposes, after all it means little more work, just an extra tick on the registration form. Come all of you race organisers out there, in the age of the computer its simple.

    I have been wanting that for the last 5 years but I have turned 60 so it doesn't matter now!

    No, 5 is next to 4 so 45 is quicker!

    No, but it takes twice as long to type V40 AND V45 than V40.

    The North East Series around the North York Moors has had 5 year categories for donkey’s years.
