Agreed. The main party line seems to be that there are so many important things going on that we shouldn't be distracted by minor matters such as having a joke of a PM who consistently lies to electors & Parliament (and god knows how many women), has no moral compass, has net zero credibility...

Isn't it just great that things are so crap - Ukraine, Covid, cost of living crisis, global warming - that the Brexit car crash just seems to pass unnoticed?

Well done, mate. Not quite Agincourt revisited but a decent result. Never got my result from the Bournemouth 5k - faulty chip (but the one on my shoulder worked fine). A little bit miffed as I beat the 'VM60 winner' by a good 4 minutes. Oh well - at least he went home a happy bunny. Hammie...

Good running over the weekend for many on the thread. My own major achievement was to get through 2 5ks without my troublesome hamstring complaining: Saturday, Great Salterns parkrun in Portsmouth. Nice little course, if a bit bumpy and lumpy: 22:07/77.24%. Category win and 4th best AG...

Update from crocked old git: 3 weeks since I did my hamstring; gradual recovery to the point of where I managed a steady 10k on Sunday. Today, tried to put a bit more pace into a run and................ouch. Not too bad but not too good either.

Good to see the thread revitalised (and those who post on it). Temporary (I hope) refugee from the running thread here as I pulled my hamstrings. So trying to maintain some hamstring-friendly fitness: exercise bike, proper bike, press ups, pull ups and the dreaded kettlebells. Speaking of which...

Where are you?

Having started this thread, I'm genuinely amazed that the channel is still going. Someone must have very deep pockets.

The EU is showing it's best face in the Ukraine crisis. Would that we could say this for the UK.

Well it was all going (too) well................ Been doing quite a lot of hill work lately and turned up to club night with tired legs. Did the warm up, drills and jogs. Then about 10 metres into the first of the 800 repeats at pace, the hamstrings went. Not badly; just a tweak. But enough to...

This is nonsense. GB News is a solidly patriotic organisation. The only - and very minor - issue is to which country their patriotism applies.

That word, 'confused' is beginning to go with the territory (see below). But that's a big chunk out of last week's time. 20.38 for me at Worthing and went home very cross thinking it was identical to last week and that surely I could have shaved a second off somewhere, surely. Gt home and found...

On balance, better not to think too much about what comes next............... But the official designations are thus 1. 60-64 - old git 2. 65-69 - very old git 3. 70-74 - extremely old git 4. 75-80 - extraordinarily old git

And an HM run in very challenging conditions too. On the transition from old git (60+) to very old git (65+) my observation is that the numbers thin out and times decline quite sharply. Some (eg the legend that is Gasson) can keep going, to a vey high standard, right up to the cusp of 70...

Good that you are getting back and clocking some better times. Thanks for mentioning the event. As a newbie I'm not entirely sure -we seem to have quite a few old girls but old gits are a bit thin on the ground. But including me, I can think of 3 of us over 60s and will ask around. On my...

You'll be back. Knees not great. At some stage this year I reckon there's a good chance that I'll (literally) be limping behind you. 70% is a realistic short term goal - warmer weather and a windless day on a prom should do it.

Worthing PR: nasty cross wind. 20:40 (SB)/82.66% age grade(SB and PB). Please could you update the table Gaffer? Hope Hove Park went well.

3 for me. Complete fluke.

Gaffer, thanks for updating the table. I wonder how many others will post 5k times this year? The better weather might well entice a few. I was up on the Downs yesterday behind Portslade. The wind was still astonishingly strong. Not sure how anyone could run in that; I certainly couldn't - it...

A rare visit to Preston park. Impressed by the overall quality and size of the field (460 or so). 21.17 just scraped me over the 80% AG on a windy day and a course with that mean little hill. Quite pleased - but not as pleased, I think, as the VW55-59 who clocked a 94%!
