Bit of a twist on the old 'What's for Lunch?' format

[Burney]

Cup of coffee and one slice of pear.

That's no breakfast for a growing lad, sw.

Are you on remand, SW? Dieting perhaps?

I was making the kids breakfast and packed lunches and I found myself with a stray piece of pear so I thought I'm having that.

19.18 for 5k is pretty good for an amateur. I might have done it in 16.00 in my heyday but would struggle to do it in 22.00 now I guess.

You used to run 16:00 5ks, m? Were you a professional athlete, perhaps?

[Sir C]

You sadden me

I was bemoaning my relative lack of pace to a friend of similar age who regularly runs such times and he put things into perspective by suggesting I look around at all the people I know and ask myself how many of them could run 5,000 metres in any time without suffering an infarct. The number was suprisingly few. Of any age, even.

No not professional. I didn't do many track 5000s. I ran 800 in 1.59 and 1500 in 4.17 but never trained enough to have the miles in my legs to let me kick on further.

Ah.. bittersweet. Like with many other things in life I now wish I'd put more effort into it.

'Personal Best'. It's what we runners say when we go faster than we have before.

My treadmill cares not whether it is light or dark, wet or dry

My multigym is arriving tomorrow. I need monty's advice on how much to bench.

Monty knows nothing.

A man of your years should pick a weight you can do 15-20 reps with and do 4 sets of as many as you can with 1-2 minutes between sets. Gets the heart rate up and will help with muscle definition so that V continues to see you as a sex god even in these twilight years.
