Pretty pathetic grown men caring about how fast they run. Unless you are professional athlete. Always seeks to be people who were shit at proper sports who get into running too. 

Stick at it pal, you’ll get faster with time.

40:43 is my 10k PB IIRC. Something like that anyway. There'll be plenty on here way quicker than that. 

40min is still good running Parkie.

1h42 for HM

47 for 10k

24 for 5k

All above done in mid-40s age. 

1.42 for your half is good strong running for sure.

Not sure I’ll improve on that, seem to be going the other way these days - although close to the 5K time only last year.

Some good times there Jimmy.

Well done.

3h 10m marathon 

Again we have some very good runners on here 

 

Looking at your 5k and 10k times your half marathon time should be 1.22 or even a bit faster.

 

16 mins for 5k is very quick .

That 5k and 10k were about 8 years ago, I'm struggling to get anything below 18 for a 5k and 38 for a 10k nowadays. I was looking really good for sub 3h in the last marathon I ran before lockdown, unfortunately, about 15 miles in I fell to pieces, I'd over trained for it and had to drag myself along for the last 11 miles. Finished it in 3h 26m. A couple of valuable lessons were learned.

Wow, very Nice 👌 

[Awayfromhomered]

 

I've always been pretty quick ( especially in my fast trainers ) but never timed myself. Might give it a go. 

[Reed or deed]

These people are all running from something.

[maryhilldon]

There's something very 'Gaylord forum' about this thread. I don't like it.

[RedArmyFakshun]

there's a thing that happens in yr mid-50s where you just trade running for walking

still cycle 45km a day but ave speed down from 25 km-ph to 21 km-ph

unless you give up the booze, its hard to come to terms with

It would be outrageous to call me a "runner", but I have been lumbering along on the treadmill at the gym.

I just aim to run for half an hour after my work-out and gradually try to increase the speed.

Im usually going about 6mph (modest, but comfortable) at present and so im doing approx 3 miles in that time, about 5k.  I do that 5 times in a typical week.

I have never entered an event, but could easily do a 5k, even a 10k if I really pushed myself. 

But mainly concentrating on trying to reconstitute my body right now and get healthier.

May as well mention my times from 20-30 years ago.

 

3k 9-10.

5k 15mins and a few seconds regularly could never break 15 mins.

 

4 miles 20mins 20 seconds.

 

Better on the hills where I'd give my mates a tough time . They were 30 mins 10k runners 

 

Best of all a former Scottish internationalist on the mountains my vest still fits me after all these years.

 

Running has been good for me mentally as it has for most people I know.

Gives you a more laid back approach to life

I've got a bowler hat, white jeans, white grandad shirt and boots and braces obvs but no jock strap.  Did it as a fancy dress for my wifes 80's themed birthday party a few years ago.  Fuck the 80's I went as the 70's. 

Also wore the bowler dressed as a Madness character for a mates birthday, 80's themed thing too.  Real saxophone the lot.  Even learned the intro to One Step Beyond.

I'll take the pelters.🤣🤣🤣🤣
