I've just clicked on a new link to these tables, and to my dismay, the target time table only goes up in 10-second increments (for 1 mile) up to 8 minutes. Then it leaps to 9 minutes, then to 10 minutes.
What about all those of us who run between those speeds? We're just as interested to know what our target time could be as our faster running friends.
What does anyone else think?

ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's like using statistical tables, if you've ever had to use them.
If I had my way we'd go back to 440 yard tracks and destroy those weaving machines in the mills:)
Personally I am 6' tall and 83 kilos!!
Mixing up weights and measures makes for an interesting life - and confuses the tourists :-)
Look on your speedo, how fast are you going?? How much pressure do you put in your tures?? What do you drink in pubs???
Cool eh? :-)
I get soooo confused and have to get my hubby to convert them for me. I mean what are they a %age of? It just doesn't make any sense... I might have to start an aerosol campaign and add the proper figures to all those nasty new signs!
... rant.. rant..
12 inch = 1 foot
3 feet = 1 yard
5.5 yards = 1 rod/pole/perch
4 perch = 1 chain
10 chains = 1 furlong
8 furlongs = 1 mile
Much easier than using multiples of 10 all the time!!!

And here is a split converter from a ruval mag:

And here is a running pace calculator (not quite so intuitive but v useable):
