My two 32-33 mi routes that I run several times/week, I make in about 2hrs 10 min including water/stretch stops, eat a banana and intersections. Weekend group ride into downtown (crack-of-dawn and largely deserted streets) lead group runs 18 mph and I'm always with them except for their sprints to stop.

On one of the routes this week, I met an Austrian guy at my turnaround stop. He left half a minute before me, and I almost caught him climbing the rolling hills. But when I got to the greenway, his blinkie disappeared. I was floored by his speed. I'm 59 and been mistaken for 39 and I believe this gentleman was 10 years older.
