Still good Jeff. The last flat out 5km I did was Jan 2nd last year and went 21.40. I’d be some way off that now.

February 27 2021 I did a 17:50 Parkrun… currently can’t get below 20 mins. Don’t think I am slowing down yet, just the hangover from a full on 2021 season. I do think that it took a lot out of me and need to spend some time rebuilding.
In Jan 2021 I was pretty much at my peak, I held onto that level of fitness for 8 months, only realising now that there is a penalty

I have just turned 47, like others, my misspent youth has meant I am still getting faster and hence some pb’s were last year. My aim this year is a sub 2:40 marathon, but my kind of club nemesis, who is turns 52 around now is trying to cajole me into attempting a 2:35 in May, so he definitely ain’t slowing down and in fact is pretty inspirational.
Similar to Matt I think, I was flying last July, my target marathon was cancelled so rather than having 2 weeks of down after the marathon I kept going all the way through to November and as a result kind of exhausted myself and definitely have slowed down as a result. So dropped my volume over December and am now building back up
