Still progressing well towards the 70+ records targets. At the track last night:
2 x 400m, 3 x 1km, 2 x400m (60)
88, 86, 3:43, 3:40, 3:36, 82, 79 another solid session. Scar tissue around the ankle still restricting movement.
Shoes still performing well and no wear on the soles :-)

I’m old enough to remember when the bunch of cops choked a man to death for selling a single cigarette on the sidewalk. And here we have a dumb president who just wiped out $6 trillions of wealth from the stock market and he’s out there golfing with the Saudis for the weekend.

Managed to grab six State and one Australian record in my current age group - I was hoping for more but with only five months left I'm having to now look at the 70+ age group. Still not lowering my standards though! Looking for best-possible times regardless of what's on paper :-)

Your medical practitioner might be treating your symptoms, such as weak glutes, over-pronation, hip-drop, iliotibial band soreness, and so on. But, if you fix the cause by changing your technique, these symptoms can be fixed permanently. This is our sixth OYF Rule. Olderyetfaster.com/sample
