[edit]

I've set up a disambiguation page for the two Craig Barretts, but things are rather messy due to an old spelling mistake in the article title, a cut-and-paste move, and a bad redirect. I'm trying to get things sorted out. -- FirstPrinciples 05:42, Nov 8, 2004 (UTC)

20000 m = 20 km

[edit]

Is there any reason why, in the personal bests table, the distances 20000 m and 20 km (and similar equivalent pairs) should be distinguished (as they are at present)? -- Picapica (talk) 00:57, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Some athletics statisticians will refer to events on the track in meters (20 000 m) but events of the road as kilometers (20 km). Road events can be quicker than track events as long as the course is flat. In race walking a typical tack event will result in the athlete changing direction by 360 degrees every 400 m, whilst at International level on the road it will be every 2 km. If the road course is flat it will be faster than the track, if environmental conditions are similar. But if it is not flat then the track will be faster. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.254.71.83 (talk) 23:19, 31 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
