I'm 26, "old man" is a nickname I picked up in my undergraduate fraternity.

I've actually gotten faster since I was 20! Of course, back then my body was constantly banged up because I played college lacrosse. It took until about age 24 for my knees and stuff to start working properly again.

The "cover the speed concentrate on cadence" is an excellent idea. Don't know why I didn't think of that. Thanks.
