Have you done a 10k in less than your age in year?

You already "aged up" or you would have done it when you were 27.

I can do it on the track. I'm 31. On the road, I'll have to wait until next year.

Ten years apart. I'm at -8 now.

Not until I was 42 - 37:05.

I'm 33 and ran 31:40 last weekend. It was a PR.

Better ones are running under your age at 15k or 10 mile or what is called the 400 club- you must run under your age for a 400. Probably inpossible for a female to ever achieve and difficult for most males until they reach thier late 50's or early 60's.

Well, you would be talking about guys at least 27. After that there are plenty that can do that until they day they drop. Although there was a time between age 28 and 30 I didn't do that.

Sort of makes me wonder if I could break 44. That might take a couple months!

Yes many many times. I ran my first sub 30 at the age of 36.

Nope but then again I'm only 23

No, and it's a goal of mine. I tried every year on my birthday on the track (I've given up on organized races, the results are too damn depressing...) during my early to late thirties. When I was 32 I ran 33:40. The closest I've gotten was 37:09 when I turned 36. I'm too busy to train properly. I'm turning 46 in a few days. Gonna give it a shot again, though.

I'm interested in who has managed their age for 10 miles. Mr. Whitlock, probably, but who else?? Surely no woman has done it; I'd be surprised if more than a few dozen men ever have

32:11 at 33

have done it all but 2 years since (injured and did not compete at 44 and 45)

latest 36:47 at 53.

There is a gentleman in Michigan who is 69 and regularly runs 63:xx at the Crim 10-miler, which is a difficult course.

Well, I did it at 33, when I ran 31something, and then I took some time off, but at 37 and 38 I was still doing 32something. After that I kind of slowed down but I think I was still under 37:00 when I was 42.

Ha. For the >99.9% of us who aren't running <27:00...By not just aging up I'm just emphasizing a goal of improving down to the time, not just running a 44:59 the day of our 45th birthday.

Seems like there are a lot of guys doing this in their early 30s. I've got doubts I can run 30:xx before 31 or even 31:xx before 32, but running 32 before I turn 33 seems like a tough but possible goal for me.

@666EnergyDrink

wow, inspirational, that gives me a lot of hope!

at what age did you start running??

i'am 30 and do a 36...focusing on the 800, 1500 and 5k now, running for 3 year but my 5k didn't develop at all, stil 17.0

my 10k developed like the first in 40.00 than 37.20 than 36.. i did only 3 and the first was after my first 6 week running. before that i didn't ru one single mm.

man 5 and 10k's are hard to develop when you have no patience and running skill:(

Of course. I'm 49.

I can do it now at 46 with minutes to spare, not sure what the youngest age at which I could do it was... my fitness has been up and down over the years (and I've never been fast) so it's not an easy thing to remember.

(Ed Whitlock did 42 at age 80 a couple of weeks ago.)

51 years 45 10k

of course this gets easier as you get older.

38:30 at 46 years of age was my largest differential so far.

I would totally obliterate the 400m world record with a 26.5. :-)
