With all the talk of IM records/marathon records etc. it made me wonder what qualifies as a PR (in people own opinion)? Do you have to set your PR in a race setting or is it ok to do alone/outside of races?
Lets take 10km PRs, would you count it as your PR if:
1) You set it during a training run?
2) You ran it around the track?
3) You did it on the treadmill?
1. No, except as outlined in #2.
2. No, except distances shorter than 1 mile.
3. Hell No.
Doesn't count unless it's posted somewhere. If I'm pretty sure that the mat is "as-published" I might count a split of a longer race.
Swimming is a different story as the pool is the only thing that is a truly known distance.
