Never seen this thread before! Love the title (especially the bit before the brackets)! Will engage with it when I qualify next year. 😀

It appears that there's an annual parkrun (in Bushy Park) for octogenarions. Something to look forward to.

I will share my WhatsApp post to my Serpie teammates to prove I am still storming (if struggling to storm) 'Obvs I will be there, complete with bus pass and zimmer frame. Am happy to do LJ, 100, JT, DT and HJ as required. Need to save my last place 200m for Vets the following night.' Am actually hoping not to be last at the Vets meet (that was for comic effect), but it's hard work in the normal league. |

LJ and HJ should be obvious, JT is javelin and DT is discus.

You will still be storming at ninety Sharkie ! I had a decent parkrun last Saturday but irritated my hamstring again so have had to take it easy this week, the parkrun I am doing tomorrow has ‘inclines’ judging by peoples comments they might be on the hilly side so I will definitely be taking it easy. |

You will Sharkie. I’m not stormin’ in terms of running but I’m loving the strength work at the Big Boys gym and have discovered a bit of a talent for fast walking. |

After a couple of years' high mileage I've cut down a lot and trained to get some speed back. I'm enjoying trying to get some of my lost WAVA back in the new UTMOST league. Give it a try! New shoes for today's trail run, followed by a coffee at the harbour - a good pensioner's life |

Just to remind you all - there are several hundred of us actively training. This might help if you need some inspiration! fetcheveryone.com/league-training.php?month=0&dist_or_time=D&category=A&gender=&age=60&filter=all&year=2022
