More wheels than sense
Can you get on a more run friendly surface than tarmac ? It might help the old bones ?

I heard that you are giving yourself 80 years to achieve it, in which case I have full confidence that you will!

...more like 120 isn't it, if we are talking kgs?
Which is fundamentally his problem, even he gets himself fit he needs to lose 50kg to get somewhere near a distance runners build. Genetics is against him.
The guys in their 50's who I know, who can run 5 minute miles, are sub 65kg and competing on the masters triathlon circuit.

Went out last night, managed an even slower time. I my defence I was running to the next village and back and itnaas like and ice rink so I was treading very gingerly. Ache this morning but not so bad, so will be out tomorrow, humming the motivational Rocky training music as I go.

My goal is simple but tough. I want to live to a hundred and retain my health to enjoy it. That means living a healthy lifestyle, including regular resistance training, HIIT three times a week and a diet that includes intermittent fasting and low carbs and selected supplements to bolster my immune system.

Ran last night. Couldn't find my Garmin, so did not time it. I doubt I went any quicker. Thighs ache a bit this morning, but otherwise not too bad.
A few more weeks of this, just getting used to it, then I can start ratcheting up on the times.
