After our conversation regarding running the other day I tempted myself to test my mile time last night even though I have a niggle in my left calf that I had to “manage” as I went for it!
I delighted to complete it in 6.41 which I believe only 1% of people over 50 are stupid enough to be able to do.
I didn’t kill myself overtrying either and I reckon that with no injury to protect and a loss of 7 lbs I could probably do a 5.45 mile,certainly a sub 6 minute is probably possible even now.....not bad for a bloke turning 57 on Monday.
I read that some elite blokes are doing sub 5 minute miles at over 60......I shan’t bother even thinking of that!!
Hope you take up my suggestion to take in a local 10k race.
Let me know how your mile time trial goes?
