I agree. Average is not where I wanna be either. I turned 51 earlier this month and thought I wonder if I could run under 6min per km on my runs. I run x 4 6km a week and have added sprinting to this for the last month or so and have now gone from 6:15 to 5:51 per km. This is not to boast at all just to say we still say that we decline as we age and accept it. I am starting to challenge that notion. Great to hear you think the same 😎

Great post Emma. I'd also like the think "fuck average" is much more about the way people go about it, than specific metrics.
