A veteran runner who has been running for more than ten years is often asked: "What level does marathon public level 2 belong to?" ”。 It's really embarrassing, I am a second-level public, just a "scumbag" level. To get back to the point, provide some professional and accurate information for the majority of running enthusiasts. First of all, we need to be clear that Marathon Volkswagen Level 2 is an official rating system. In domestic marathons, participants are usually divided into different levels according to their performance, age, gender and other factors. Among them, Volkswagen Level 2 is the most basic level in Volkswagen Level 1 and Elite Level, that is, the intermediate level, and those who can finish the race are the primary level.
According to the relevant evaluation and recognition standards of the Chinese Athletics Association (2023 latest public runner rating), the second-level standards of the marathon public are recognized according to the age group and completion results:
1.34 minutes or less: Women's 4:20:00 (speed distribution 6'10), Men's 4:00:00 (speed distribution 5'41);
2.35-39: Women's 4:30:00 (speed distribution 6'24), Men 4:10:00 (speed distribution 5'55);
3.40-44: Women 4:35:00 (Speed 6'31), Men 4:15:00 (Speed 6'03);
4.45-49: Women's 4:40:00 (Speed 6'38), Men 4:20:00 (Speed 6'10);
5.50-54: Women 4:50:00 (Speed 6'52), Men 4:30:00 (Speed 6'24);
6.55-59: Women's 5:00:00 (Speed 7'07), Men 4:40:00 (Speed 6'38);
7.60-64: Women's 5:20:00 (speed distribution 7'35), Men's 4:50:00 (speed distribution 6'52).
8.65 or higher: Women's 5:30:00 (speed distribution 7'47), Men's 5:00:00 (speed distribution 7'07).
Men's scores are between 4 hours and 5 hours,
The women's score ranged from 4 hours 20 to 5 hours 30 minutes.
It is important to note that the time standard here is a "net score", not a gunshot score, that is, the time from the starting line to the finish line after the starting gun is sounded.
For the participants at the level of Volkswagen Level 2, they already have a certain foundation of marathon training and competition experience. They are usually able to arrange their training plans scientifically and have a certain understanding of running techniques and strategies. In addition, they also have good control over their physical fitness and mentality, and are able to maintain a consistent performance in the game.
In general, Marathon Volkswagen Level 2 is a medium level. However, compared with first-class and elite players, there is still a lot of room for improvement in terms of training methods, competition experience, psychological quality, and finishing results. It is both a recognition and an incentive for the contestants. I believe that as long as you keep your love and keep training, you will be able to go further and further on the road of marathon, constantly improve your level, and gain more happiness and a sense of achievement.
