Age ranking in Sports App
One of the best facilities is actually one TomTom (as far as I have googled), doesn't tell much about
After uploading a run to the the mysports app you get the message
"This pace ranks you in the top x% of men your age"
It is fun competing against people my own age, but I have a couple of questions to this ranking:
1)
Does the ranking come from some scientific material outside of the accumulated TomTom user database or should it be read as
This pace ranks you in the top x% of men your age, who have tracked their run using a TomTom watch?
The difference being, men using a sports watch to track their runs, are probably more serious about running and might have a better pace than the general public.
2)
And another question about the ranking:
Is the ranking dependent of the length of the run? If my run has been 7 miles, should the ranking be read as
This pace ranks you in the top x% of men your age, who have been specifically running a 7 miles run.
Hope for an answer and perhaps a link to a page, where this ranking is discussed
