Ah, I was thinking Hakan's routing with Andi's running. Yeah, so that's not going to happen.tubeguru wrote:You're only as fast as your slowest runner ...Wanstead wrote:That further suggests if the Swede and the Finn were ever to join forces they'd flatten the current record.
i dont think its anything to do wiv my routes even i cant compensate for bad luck which has happened on 6 of those 10 attempts and some have just been for fun no record pace running.joy54 wrote:I remember Hakan telling me that on any single attempt he makes using his current route created using the genetic algorithm, he calculated he has a 30% change of breaking the current record held by myself and Andi.
Now of course no one other than Hakan does not have access to his "optimum" route or the genetic algorithm he uses to create routes, but considering his running pace is of considerably less stature than others on this forum, I reckon that a fast runner with a "decent" route could achieve the same 30% record breaking success rate. Furthermore a fast runner that had a "specially devised" route created by Hakan (his routes always compensate for a slower running pace) could achieve an even higher success rate.
So to answer Neil, no we have not reached a threshold, we have just reached a point where people are statistically more likely to be unsuccessful than successful by an factor of 2 (i.e. in three attempts one will be likely to succeed whereas two will be likely to fail).
Now of course some will reply here than Andi has achieved nowhere near the success rate described above in his recent attempts, in my opinion this fact shows more about the routes he is using rather than the "threshold" theory. If he was using a route anywhere near as good as Hakan's he should statistically have broken the record easily by now (since 24/07/08 he has attempted to break the record ten times, with a success rate of zero) and factoring in the fact that Andi is one of the fastest runners on the forum, it seems to suggest that a trip back to the drawing board routewise, will be needed, before he is to break the record again.
I object to Andi being called the Finn!Wanstead wrote:That further suggests if the Swede and the Finn were ever to join forces they'd flatten the current record.
It was that or title them the Slow Swede and the Flying Finn!Root wrote:I object to Andi being called the Finn!Wanstead wrote:That further suggests if the Swede and the Finn were ever to join forces they'd flatten the current record.

First and so far only female solo record holder!! I don't mind you being called A Finn, just not THE Finn. I'm Finnish too!palkanetoijala31 wrote:what would u call me then ollie.Root wrote:I object to Andi being called the Finn!Wanstead wrote:That further suggests if the Swede and the Finn were ever to join forces they'd flatten the current record.
I haven't used Excel in ages, but I'm sure it is possible to define three data sets and plot them on the same graph. Create a blank XY-scatter plot and add the data sets using the wizard: for example, series 1 for the East London Line and series 3 for the current setup. You then should (?) be able to fit a trendline (I think this is what Excel calls it) to each data series individually.Wanstead wrote:I'm trying to work out how to split the data into three sets but keep it on the same graph.

There's only one way to find out who is more Finnish....... "Fight"....!Root wrote: I don't mind you being called A Finn, just not THE Finn. I'm Finnish too!
i like the sound of that and we can even do it on finnish soil in england surprisingly named chesham place to ollie lolSoup Dragon wrote:There's only one way to find out who is more Finnish....... "Fight"....!Root wrote: I don't mind you being called A Finn, just not THE Finn. I'm Finnish too!
