![]() On the far right you can see my UK rankings from RunBritain. Here you can see details about me, athletes I coach (just the one, apparently! You can add me as coach through your profile if you want), and my best known performances (spot the hungover parkrun pacing anomaly!). Only one Martin so let’s have a closer look by clicking on “show profile”. Let’s take my profile… search for Hulbert and you get 23 athletes. Just enter the name and any other details in the search box on the homepage, and you should find the relevant athlete. The most commonly used tool is the athlete search – you can search for anyone you like, including yourself. You can also, via RunBritain ( a sister site which specialises in road races rather than track and field), see how you are ranked in the UK for different distances of road race. You can view data by individual athlete, club, coach and have a good nosey at others performances. If you take part in organised races and are a member of UKA (usually through a registered athletics or running club) your performances will usually be listed. The website lists competitors, coaches and clubs registered in the UK. Set up by British Athletics prior to the 2012 Olympics, this is a ranking system for athletes that was started in order to set targets and challenge athletes to improve track and field performances in the run up to the games. After a recent discussion on a couple of Facebook groups about London Marathon results not yet appearing on British Athletics’ Power of Ten website ( ), I thought it was a good time to write an introduction to this database of athletic performances to anyone who hasn’t yet discovered it.
