And where did it all go wrong for you from there? Were you ever able to recover?

I felt that I did not get faster after age 36, but that was due mostly to work and life commitments.
I'm usually, grammar agnostic, but that comma, in the title, is killing me.
Also, I dunno, maybe 38. But I'm 43 now and feel great and can still run fast.
Looking at the Olympics, the average age is 26. Same for the NFL and NBA.
Start running. Train hard for 10 consecutive years. You will have very few pr's after that period.
depends if you got the jab or not
I ran my last PR at 29 but I wouldn't say I really started slowing until about 35. I could still win races in my early to mid 40s but the wheels really fell off at about 48. At 60 I'm lucky if I can beat the first high school girl at the local church 5K.
22. But I was still winning races into my early 40s, and almost that fast until 47.
PR 1500m aged 28 (3:57.9)
PR 3000m aged 33 (8:37.2)
At 34 I was still close to my PRs, but at 35 things took a turn. It was a long gradual dive from there. 😂
Depends on the event.
I did some research on this in graduate school, but it's been awhile, so I don't remember off the top of my head.
The longer the distance, the older the peak.
I hardly ran at 20 and tore it up. Did everything right through 26 and never got that close again.
PRd at half marathon and marathon at 25, but those were debut races and I did not return to them until my 40s. All other distances from age 27-33. By 30-31 I noticed I was topped out at 1500/mile, 3K, 5K but ran fairly close and think given perfect conditions and pacing with a group I could have beaten any of those. Just didn't happen.
PRd 4 mile to 10 mile road races at 31-33. At 34 I ran well off compromised training (30 seconds off 10K PB, 30 sec off 8K). Things fell apart starting at 35 with injury cycles, and life changes, career-family. Kept at it because it's something I like to do and scored age grade PRs in late 50s-early 60s.
I peaked at ages 24, 31, 38, 46, and 51. Some time between each I had an injury that reduced me to what felt like square one and I thought I'd never come back. I did each time.
