How's your running going Barth? Iβm not as old as you Fel, I have young children to keep me young. Just waiting for a bike delivery for the middle ones birthday. Anyway, Iβm Stoke. I donβt runπ Young people run as well Barth. One of the groups I meet up with ranged from a 14 year old female up to a 78 year old male. Stoke runs big time, have a look at the numbers at the local park runs. The kids might keep you young in the head but the body will eventually crash if you're sitting on your arse all day

My first post on this thread. Anyway, used to be a decent runner (I think), 38.21 is my PB for 10km. Ive run a marathon but never a half (well that's a lie, got to anchor road in a previous potters arf but dropped out as went off to hard). I went to watch this years potters arf and got the bug. Been out and done 6 mile today. My questions: - do u think that I could break 1:20 if I trai ed right - anyone have any training suggestions? Anyone up for going out?? Cheers Dave I would suggest a personal trainer at the gym as well if it's no issue, target the core, legs, glutes etc. as well, strength training for the legs, and also Pilates to keep subtle and stretched, running tightens and shortens the hamstring. Make sure you get your running gait checked out and a decent pair of trainers that fit your gait.

The kids might keep you young in the head but the body will eventually crash if you're sitting on your arse all day Agreed, running is huge in Stoke surprisingly. Lots of great clubs, plenty of local races and a really good local league. Back to the sub 1:20, it mainly depends on your natural ability. There are some runners that will knock that one out without much training. Some will have the ability with lots of training, and some will never get anywhere near! Even so, I don't know many that have reached that benchmark. 1:24 is my best so far, won't say it would never happen as I struggled to do that pace for a 5k a couple of years ago, but running sub 6 for 13 miles will be bloody tough(for most!)

Cheadle Vets race tonight over at Oakamoor. More than happy with the pace just need another 4 to 6 weeks of stamina training to get back to something like. Respect to Cheadle RC for putting on a fantastic tour of Dimmingsdale and finding every last ounce of mud

Cheers Dave 1.20 is hard to break and you'd need to be in better shape than a 38.21 10k. If you were around 36 for 10k then you might be there or there abouts. That's not to say you couldn't do it though. Depends on your age/genes/commitment. Probably need to consistently be doing at least 35 miles a week with some speed work and a weekly long run of at least 12 miles. I always like a progression run when training for a half marathon to work on speed maintenance on tired legs. Others might disagree with me on this though. One of my colleagues who used to be a very good runner reckons you need to do similar long runs for the half as for a marathon, topping out at around 18 miles. I'll never find out if that works though as regular runs of that distance ruin me. Cheers for the. Dont think that I'd ever get to 36 mins for 10k. Will see how much training I can get in. Defo want break 90 mins though for the arf

Westbury park/clayton based if anyone fancies a run You're halfway between Trentham Running Club and Newcastle Athletics Club who train on Tuesdays and Thursdays and organise longer runs on Saturdays/Sundays.Β Sub 1:20 seems to be the domain of the fairly elite local runners I would have thought if you were a young enough age a 38:21 would get you down to 1:23/1:24 depending on your your running strengths. I'm a 5K to 10K runner in ability and the further the distance the performance tails off percentage wise. You need a club to provide encouragement, discipline, structure and advice unless you're absolutely focused then of course there's Lonely Goat Again, cheers. I'd be happy with 1.23/1.24! Work in manc so getting the clubs is a bit of a struggle. Could go the weekend though!!

Work in manc so getting the clubs is a bit of a struggle. Could go the weekend though!! 8:30 AM Saturday mornings outside Fenton Manor for the old Bourne Sports run, everyone gets together for a tea/coffee afterwards. Approximately 7 miles, the lads and lasses at the front are in the 38 to 44 minute 10K bracket. Mixed club group. There are a few slower runners groups and shorter distance groups running as well.

The standard was so much lower this year than last year :@ Won in 17:26 by a young man just coming back to proper training. I was told it was something like 5.2 or 5.3K which makes sense if you look at the results being slower than previous years. Here's the results www.racephotos.org.uk/Dave%20Clark%205%202019%20-%20Results.pdf

Northwich parkrun this morning, saw a young lad in a Stoke goalie kit, junior 10 on the results, he flew round in 20.35.
I was just entering the car park behind town after and was met by 3 ambulances, first one asked me where Carey park was so I showed them, a few minutes later saw an air ambulance flying in.
Found out this afternoon somebody had passed away, it was Terry Murphy, in his 70s, local football legend, he's managed our village, Macclesfield and Northwich Vics in the past, he's done virtually every run since it started, started off walking went from 1 hour to 40 minutes. Had many a long chat with him at the side of non league football pitches over the years. RIP Terry.

I don't think you're running hard enough to get dodgy knees Just shy of 60 miles for the week including tempo, speed and a parkrun. I suppose all the proper runners from the 80's would have been doing at least 80 miles, no wonder all your knees are gone π

My uncle was into his running in the 80s and 90s and would regularly do 80 miles a week. It made him very fast but I can say with some confidence that it definitely wasn't good for him.

Sorry - just seen this! Amazon on Stanley Matthews Way Ahhh the 'fast section', I think a few of us may have gone slightly too quick down there π I've just spotted your time and race position, well done To put it into some perspective you were in front of a reigning Vet European Indoor 800 and 1500 metre champion and 1500 metre World champion who is a very decent 10K runner.

I appreciate the support and kind words, however he was the 40 minute pacer! Looked pretty fresh at the end. Was a tough course but Charlie and I definitely went off far too quick or I reckon we would have had quicker times.
