Content: This section may make more sense once you've got your own results in front of you. Athlete time
This is the time achieved by the runner. Senior athlete
What qualifies as a senior athlete varies according to distance, sex and surface, but it is usually a range of ages somewhere between 19 and 34 years old. For example, for 5km on the road, a male senior athlete is one aged 19 to 29; for the same event, a female senior athlete is one aged 19 to 30. For the men's marathon, athletes are considered seniors if they are aged 19 to 31; for the women's marathon, it's 20 to 30. All track events for both males and females have a senior age range of 22 to 31. Runners of ages above and below the range for senior athletes are considered at a disadvantage, and this is taken into account when determining their age-grading percentages. Open-class-standard
The open-class-standard is the time for the specified distance and sex that will result in an age-grading percentage of 100% for a senior athlete.
