Your age-graded time translates to 5:23 for a non-age-graded runner. It's respectable, but nothing special.
Learn punctuation old man. Don't put spaces before periods. Add a question mark (?) at the end of questions. Separate minutes and seconds with a colon (:) not a semicolon (;).
Compared to your/our peers, just running a mile without passing out is excellent.
An age-graded result of 68% suggests that it's respectable, but may not win your age group in a local race. On the other hand, if you ran 6:45 in a solo time trial based on unstructured training, that suggests you could improve substantially with some targeted effort and in race conditions. Breaking 6:00 isn't a bad goal.
6:45 at 60 yrs old is phenomenal! ?
I'm 60 and broken down with post-traumatic osteoarthritis (not built for running as I played college football in the late 70s and did about decade of bodybuilding & powerlifting).
I can barely run a 7:45 on a good day with the wind at my back. Lol (I'm looking at a bike now - too painful to run on OA).

6:45 mile is 405 seconds / by 223 seconds, one mile world record, equal to: 1.816143498 or 81.16143498% slower than one mile world record.
100 metre world record, 9.58
9.58 x 1.816143498 = 17.39 100 metres
No way you ran 6:45 you old goat.
Why do you old guys shuffle?
Lift your goddamn legs!
And stay out of our university gym, freak.

Are you drunk or stoned? You responded to the wrong poster.

Typically, we use a comma when addressing somebody. If it helps, think of it as being like the vocative case in inflectional languages.
@OP: for a runner, it's decent but not stellar. Outside of a skewed runner-centric population like LRC, it's stellar.
You are doing great. After age 60, it's time to be modest about goals.
I am 60 and coming off a heart attack one year ago. It happened 4 weeks after I ran a 10K in 54:27. My only goals now are to keep the 5K under 30 minutes and the 10K under 60 minutes.
My best recent training time is 2.6 miles in 24:11. Slow, but I'm out there on the street getting it done.
Consider every day a gift and remember people you knew who died before age 60.
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
