PBs since age 60: 5k- 24:36, 10k - 47:17. Half Marathon- 1:42:41.
10 miles (unofficial) 1:16:44.
In the month of March, almost half your milage was in your long runs. You need more frequent running to keep the strength up for injury prevention.
Nearly all of your training runs are at a much faster pace than you can run 8 miles in a race. Slow those training runs down for awhile. At least most of them. Also, if you aren't try to run on softer surfaces for awhile.

Run slower, shorter, and more often.
On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

Hi Duncan, nice to meet a fellow Rhodesian/Zim! (I have lived in Canada since 1970, but have a daughter and her family still living in Harare.)
