How good is it running a PB (or PR).
I might be 55, but it's never too late to run a PB, even if you have to run long distances to achieve it.
And then to finish on the podium... well, that's a good day.
I took the GoPro along with me and filmed this 50km race along the stunning Gold Coast beachfront.
The result, a PB and podium.
Come along for the ride and see how it all went down.
I hope you enjoy the video.

Well done Neil. It's got me excited for Feb though for me any time will be a PB so I better not rush otherwise too hard to beat next time and we aren't getting any younger.

Thanks 🙏 Simon. Go get that marathon. Have you got one in mind?👍😊

@@runwithwoody thank you, yes I’m in the UK been consistently running for only 18 months and in my late 30s. Did a first marathon in October in 4:15 so a little aim of sub 4 in Manchester next year. Trying 80:20 high ish mileage (increasing to 80km a week from around 50-60km in the last block) and see how we go! Half marathon is currently at low 1:40 so think it’s do able with an increase in endurance!

@runwithwoody 2 жыл бұрын

@@Simon-ch4eo Sounds like you're on the right track Simon. Just be patient with mileage increase and consistent with your running and you should achieve that marathon goal. Good luck with the 80/20 running. 👍☺

Inspirational, congrats!. How are you feeling a few days after? Something I've found this year, is that although I have the fitness to run a "fast" 10k or HM, my body takes a real pounding, and I'll take longer to recover than for an easier pace 50k race. For 2022 I'll be doing far fewer shorter/faster races.

@runwithwoody 2 жыл бұрын

Cheers Nigel. The body recovered reasonably well considering. I think as we get older, those shorter events where you really push puts more strain on the body than the slower paced long runs. That’s why it’s so important that our easy runs are easy. 👍😊
