Women are the right age

I'm a traditionalist.and believe the best athletic performances are those performed by people during their peak years - after all athletics is principally about performance peaking.

Its always good to see and read about promising junior athletes, even though the stupid over the top child protection rules prevent me from identifying a junior athlete in a photo these days, and I am always impressed by older athletes who fight their ageing bodies to slow less than they should.

However, even in the Parish Walk, where people think that age and experience count, and they do, the best performances should come from people under 35. The problem with sport across the whole of the British Isles, and most of Europe, is that it is the people at (potentially) their peak years who are least interested in committing themselves to the lifestyle that makes a top athlete.

I'm heartened to see that the entry profile for the Parish Walk is healthier for the women than the men. There are 210 women under the age of 40 compared to 172 men. Assuming that a reasonable proportion continue in the years ahead, it strengthens my belief that there will be more women than men taking part in future years.

For the moment the totals are exactly even - 411 men and the same number of women.

Women over 21 under 40	210
Women over 40	129
Women over 50	60
Women over 60	11
Women over 70	1
Men over 21 under 40	172
Men over 40	130
Men over 50	81
Men over 60	24
Men over 70	4
Total	822
Men	411
Women	411

Mark my words - watch the percentage of finishers of the female variety increase from the best to date of just under a third to half the field in the next 10 years.
