I hope I am not going to get my State Record Keeper in trouble, but I am getting ready to measure an 8K for Certification and I went online to see how many 8K courses we have in AL and I noted that the list of records for a 5 Mile run was listed "5 Mile/8K records". While I realize that these 2 distances are close, there would still be a 10 to 30 second difference in runner's times between the 2 races. Is this normal to list them together?
