Marina McCallum recently ran a very good marathon in a time of 3:26. The question is, how does that compare with club men's times? It is hard to compare and you probably can't get an exact comparison but if we use the International Scoring Tables which give points for times, distances and heights in events for both men and women we get the following.
Three Hours for Men gets you 373 points. 373 points for women are allocated for 3:46:03. So Marina (326 which equals 3:04:18) is almost on the three hours. Kath is reported to be even faster so I'll just list some times and equivalent points.
Three hours for a woman is equal in the tables to 776 points: 776 points for a man equal 2:31:21.
3:10:00 for a woman = 2:37:35 for a man; and
3:15:00 for a woman = 2:40:41 for a man.
So there you are: not exact but as near exact as athletics can get. So well done Marina and Kath!
