Men’s captain at my club is still pulling out PBs at 45/46, particularly at marathon, you might surprise yourself.

You've not met magicrat, his hairline suggests he's in his late 50s...

100 miles a month minimum
1300 miles this year
Sub 1h 55m Half marathon
Sub 51m 10k
Sub 24m 5k
And back to proper racing with other people. I have deferred entries for Gloucester 10k and Worcester half marathon.
I am 62 in September so it gets harder every year...

Posted it on the 2020 thread but it's to run 10k. I currently run 7 and it takes me exactly 1 hour. I know that's nowt to all you lot but for me it will be massive.
This is the plan I'm following (the distance version not the timed version). I'll probably repeat a few weeks though so if I've got there by the end of March, I'll be happy.
By the way, doing a park run seemed utterly unobtainable at the beginning, like some kind of magic thing I'd never be able to do. And now I just bosh out 5ks no bother Love this running

Looking forward to my first event ever! I started running in Feb 2020 with the ambition of doing a ParkRun. Still waiting

The best thing about doing 7k is that it doesn’t matter how long it takes you can still do 7k. Love running.
Great stuff mate...sounds like your hooked for life as well... Enjoy your running..Posted it on the 2020 thread but it's to run 10k. I currently run 7 and it takes me exactly 1 hour. I know that's nowt to all you lot

My place for Edinburgh marathon from last year was deferred to this year, so if that goes ahead that’s my main goal. 4.28 last time, to bear that would be great.
I had set sights on doing an ultra last year which never happened, thinking this is slipping away from me at 42.

Age is just a number. Plenty time to do an ultra.

I'm 59... Still do the odd ultra ... Was gonna do 50 mile one in littlehampton in feb but covid has stopped it.... If your fit enough your young enough...
Get my target of 10 mile by the end of Feb. Up my distance to half marathon
Hopefully get to do a few races this year.
Few trail and xc ones should be fun.
Hopefully the club sessions will be allowed back on soon
