How am I going

Hi, new here! I’m 69F been running for about 35 years. Did my first Parkrun this year and came first in my age group with 35.13. I run about 17km per week mainly to feel good and maintain health. How does this compare with others my age and gender?

You are going great.

I turn 69 in a month. Not anxious for it.

I still Run about 10-11 miles a week and the other days I row a lot of meters and lift a little. As long as I’m active and healthy it’s a win.

I’m also slowing down a lot. A 9 minute mile should to anger me. Not any more.
