TrackMaxx wants to focus even stronger on your performance and publishes the Performance Index by TrackMaxx PIT at most competitions. The PIT enables fair comparisons between runners of different age groups and genders. In this way, for example, the performance of a 50-year-old female runner can be compared with that of a 25-year-old male runner. The PIT shows the age- and gender-specific changes in performance. The higher your score, the better your performance. The average daily winner has a PIT of 100. What you can compare with the PIT How we calculate the PIT The WMA provides Age Graded Factors for every age and most standard distances. At TrackMaxx, we use the factors that best match the distance and extrapolate each result using these factors. This gives us an age-standardized running time for your performance. 2. Based on our comprehensive data analysis of all the available results at TrackMaxx, we have determined that the age-graded factors provided overestimate the performance of older female runners in particular. We therefore extrapolate the running times of women with an appropriate factor so that the results of women and men can be compared in a largely gender-neutral way. In order to enable a comparison that is as standardized as possible regardless of the course profile and other influences such as wind, temperature, etc., our software assigns the respective 'standardized daily winner' the PIT 100. Your personal PIT value is then the %-tual performance of your age- and gender-standardized running time in relation to the daily winner.
