Parkrun 13

[lyndamorag]

New PB 44.52

The fastest time at my parkrun is 15.15 , good for them but at 64 and only started running outside on 28th October I am happy with myself. They have only run for 15.15minutes I have run for 44.52 minutes , so I win , no brainer. Lol

I wholly agree with your reasoning. They are lightweights who don't have the commitment for a long run.

Brilliant run Lynda!

I run a touch slower than you and agree we win! Plus i may be carrying a few pounds extra compared to the gazelles so I'm working harder, that has to be true commitment on our parts 👍🏼😀🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️

Yes if we include a weight allowance, inside leg measurement allowance and a bust size allowance to the age and gender % grading they would be calling me a winner .

[Millsie-J Graduate in reply to lyndamorag]

Love it, that makes us Elite runners😉

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to lyndamorag]

Now, I have always worked on that theory, age related anyway.. and the effect of my wear and tear in respect of hills and weather too

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

I love your reasoning...I may use that myself AS and when

Go you

[lyndamorag Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

I missed out shoe size, and time of the month.

[McFitty Graduate]

I am definitely going to use that reasoning...All the time! Great run lyndamorag 😀

[giddyaunts Graduate]

I like your style and well done, it doesn't matter what time you did it in, how many other 64 yr olds who've never run before are out there running?

[Terrorrun Graduate]

Gotta love a pb

Don't worry they have all "peaked too soon" and will probably start slowing down. You may still as some improvement in you.

So your going faster forwards and they may be going backwards !

All the benefits of the running means even us "Old uns" are winners !

[Now-runner_NeedsAttn Graduate]

Good for you! I apply the same logic when go over 100 for a round of golf - I've got more of my money's worth than those who break 80

[ancientrunner Graduate]

My aim at Parkrun is to get round the first lap before the lead runners overtake me!!

[lyndamorag Graduate in reply to ancientrunner]

Same here , they usually pass me at around 9minutes

[melly4012 Graduate]

Well done you! I totally agree with you - you're getting the better workout. In The Tortoise and the Hare the tortoise always wins so I'm sure the moral of the story is to go slowly.

[poppypug Graduate]

Ha ha ! Yes, so true . What a great way to look at it xxx

[Gladioli Graduate]

Love the wit and banter here! Great that people don't take themselves too seriously.😀

[lyndamorag Graduate in reply to Gladioli]

We are all serious about feeling healthier , if laughing at ourselves helps us achieve that I for one don't mine playing the fool.
