today i turned 38 and have only only been been back running hard 2 1/2 years can i get to sub 31 for 10k?

Yes with drugs.

jk

What it is 33 flat shape? Have you run 33?

I made the jump from 33 to 31:44 in one season at age 29.

You are way older. Is there a fast 10k in the area? I ran the Sun Run which has lots of fast guys, that helped me. Trying to pr in a slow 10k road race is very difficult.

Consistency, mileage, and tempos are key to the 10k

yes i ran 33 and 33 flast shape is 33:00.I know i will get in the 31s just how long will it take is what i am asking.My running times are the same as 15 years ago or more.There is no slow down and thats with the 3 years down.I have a new program and coach .

You need to build a time machine and go back 8 years. Train hard and smart - you'll go sub-31 when you are 33 years old.

Time is not on your side. Consistent mileage, focusing on maxing out your aerobic development is probably your best bet. Another 2-3 years and it should have happened provided you stay injury free and keep building your fitness. Try to run on grass (it's good for the muscles/joints) and get regular massages.

i am getting faster each year.I running what i did at 25 .38 is not the end of the world .I just turned 38 today.12/ 14

my body feels no diffrent then 25.I had a great year at 23 another at 26 another at 30 the rest of the time its been up and down.I feel i am getting faster 80- 100 miles(2 doubles) every week eating right core workouts so on.I feel my best running is ahead of me .I have never worked as hard and smart since 23 and the fact that i had all that time off of racing i feel fast and in my case 38 IS NOT OLD.

No one said 38 is old. You can run faster and probably get into the 31's. It's just you have a little less room to play with than when you were your 20's. Lots of folks have run fast well into their 40's. Best wishes.

start a thread "Won't stop till I hit 31, or die of old age."
