why don't you enter a decathlon together, or some other sort of multi-event competition, and add up your combined score for all the events?
Can't believe I'm still here playing this same game

Well, basically your lifting capacity and your distance running are almost competely different process. So its kinda hard to make a competition that is fair. He will beat you in the weightlifting, you will beat him in the race. If you try to find a conversion rate, the competition will inevitably be unfair.

The best I could think is to go by a percentage system.
You go against each other and work out what percentage the winner won by.

this really wouldn't make it a competition but more of a 'whos better'..
i know based on running times you can come up with an age and gender graded percentage of how "good" you are relative to the best. if there's a similar thing for weightlifting (i assume you'd need age, gender and weight though) then you can use the percentage grades to figure out who's "better" relatively.

doesn't make it much of a competition though, more of a statement =o

edit: but really, you're a distance runner; running a mile is hardly fair to you. most people can generally cough out a mile even if they've never run before. now 9.3 miles is a totally different thing. it's like limiting how much you can lift.. really no point, neh? i guess i'm just trying to point out that as the distances increase, the gap will get ridiculously wide so it doesn't matter what conversion system you use w.r.t to pounds lifted vs seconds headstart. if it turns out that giving him a 2min headstart in the mile was too long, simply up the distance to a 5k.. unless you've run before, running a 5k is reaaaaaaally tough, nevermind a 15k.
(\o/)  If you want it, you find a way. Otherwise you find excuses. No exceptions.
