I was going to advise not to listen to that nasty REM record lest he injure himself emotionally at the age of 50’ then I realised to my horror I’m only 46 so I scuttled back into my shell…

I realised yesterday that from today I’m technically closer to 51 than 50. WTF, where did that 6 months go, I need to get back on with my life :grimacing:

I’m not overly worried about my age. I’m worried that the delta between my age and my weight is getting wider.

I’m already planning my assault on M55-59 in 2022…

That was my M50 plan for this year :angry:

I phrase it as I’m nearer 40 than 30

If you used st & lbs then that would be a good thing.

I have a similar idea but it will be the M60-65 in Copenhagen in 2022. (Hopefully under 11 hours but with each training run that now seems more and more a stretch)

To try and keep my motivation up and not feel too bad about how much I am slowing down I use this age grade site to compare what I used to do to what I do now. Its a great way to waste a couple of hours

Evidently for me my peak was around 51 (83%)
