Analyzing performances

 The Hungarian Scoring Tables

One of the best ways to compare athletic performances between different athletic events (and even between men and women) are the Hungarian Scoring Tables. They give a certain score to a certain performance and are used by the IAAF and many other official Athletics bodies. It's an excellent tool to evaluate your performance and efficient when you want to set a time goal for other events than you're used to. 

Note that the first two links are short versions - the documents will open in a different window. The last two links are zipped versions of the html versions of the full Hungarian Scoring Tables.
