Ageing

Though short of a full hour, I sure had my fun on the treadmill this afternoon as I tried to juggle long days of teaching in Halmstad with my 10k-per-day running regime. With an average heart rate of 165 bpm, I was reminded of the suffering I felt in Tallinn, and could not help wondering if my fastest days are already behind me? 

Perhaps it is kind of inevitable that, as we age, the focus has to shift from speed to distance? Still, as I have said before, I do not want to give up on road racing, hard as it may be. Looking to 2024, I would be thrilled to a do a half marathon like Copenhagen or a full marathon somewhere off the beaten track like Tunis.
