I hope jennywren and Sharkie will remain on this thread for many years to offer wisdom to the youngsters and show us how to keep on doing what we do! Personally pleased to have logged my first V60 marathon a couple of weeks ago. It went well and involved some planned run-walk, so that’s a triumph of age/experience over youthful enthusiasm.

I’m still doing my strength training at the Big Boys gym and doing a bit of joggin’ Did a 10k race the weekend before last and was doing ok until about 8k in when I tripped over nothing and fell over. Had a swollen knee for about a week so haven’t run since. It’s getting better though.
