65 year old letsrunners, how fast are you? Alastair Walker ran 34:32 over the weekend

Rather than congratulate the achievement, you turn it into who’s better than who? Why do you start threads like a teen YouTuber?

You will get a decent answer for American oldsters after this Sunday's US Masters 10K in Dedham, Ma.

Kevin Castille’s efforts impressed me more but of course wasn’t he conferring with Shelby Houlihan on diet tips?

With 47/48 in age what is Rojo running these days over 10k?

In the super shoes this Rojo never tires. I call him SuperRojo.

Any day now Rojo’s going to train to run a marathon under 3

Any day now…

It has been two decades since I have run such a time, but no regrets. I have other priorities now. There are guys on the 50+ thread, near that age that can hang with that for much of the way.

Sadly, i'm completely over being excited about any masters records since there is no random drug testing.

Here's what is needed to determine whether we should celebrate or determine
he's dirty.
1. When did he start running
2. How fast did he run in his 40s and 50s
If he started running 10 years ago and he was hitting 45min 10k back at that
point, i'd say it's legit. But if he started running 20+ years ago and was running 35s in his late 50s, i'd say he's dirty

In his defense, nobody in their right mind will accuse him of TRT. Take a look at his pic.

4 weeks away from age 62. I can run 10K in 53 minutes.

Any runner over age 60 who runs 10K in under 60 minutes is doing well.

Any runner over 60 who runs 10k is doing well.

lol! so true in this case. but while this guy doesn't look like he is on anything, looks can be subjective which is why i believe past times and training are more objective indicator.

3 months until 62, takes me about 65min for 10k..
PR was 33:20, could still break 40 until age 51..

I lose a minute or two a year, every year since then. By 65 I'll be lucky to run under 70min, or twice as slow as that record..

a minute off the previous best is huge, well done ! to Alastair..

he took a 22 year break from running, results since he started again in 2016 can be seen,

looks pretty consistent over those years.

67 years old. Fantastic what this guy is doing.
After 46 years of running and racing it takes me 30 minutes just to straighten up every morning when I get out of bed.

good luck to him!

Anyone find the range of times he ran when he was younger. I think I remember him so I am going through old running mags for results.

This is a world class athlete with a world class cardiovascular system. I"m 65 and, on a good day (at mile high altitude), can get in the 45's. His performance is unbelievably good

66 years old; pr of 30:58 from when I was 30.

Can only train at 9:30 pace right now; too afraid to race.

Tell me it was a downhill, point-to-point course. A bit depressing to me that an old dude beat my 10K best by 30+ seconds. When I'm 65 I'll be lucky to run 64:32.
