why in the hell is everyone naming the best times they know of? he asked what is respectable at 50... it would be like responding to what is respectable at any age, 'well i heard of this guys who ran 12:40 in the 5k'
some of these times are clearly well beyond respectable
Seriously thats correct but all the replies are appreciated of course. We all know extreme cases. At my very best I was a 16/33/1;18 guy so I was nver gifted like someone who can run sub 17 at age 50. Ive been out of the racing scene for awhile but do read race results, I dont see that many 50+ guys going under 20 or 40. I can accept I will never run as "fast" LOL as I once did but for me theres no purpose in going to a race unless I'm competitive with others in my AG. Not into just showing up to say hey I out there giving it my best or whatever
