Performance Has No Age Limit: Clare Elms Breaks V60 British Record

Think bicarbonate supplementation is only for elite pros or twenty-something track stars? Think again.

Clare Elms just clocked a blistering 18:11 for 5000m and in doing so, smashing the British V60 record by 25 seconds. This is her fastest on the track since 2019, proving that with the right mindset, smart training, and dialled-in nutrition, age is just a number.

Clare’s Secret to Staying Fast

A blend of consistent road-running form, sharpened track speed, and a little help from BICARRB, our flagship bicarbonate supplement, helped set the stage for this record-breaking run.

Earlier this season, Clare sharpened her top-end pace with a rapid 4:59 for 1500m at the Tonbridge Open Meeting, a key tune-up ahead of her 5000m success.

After her record run, Clare told us:
“I was so happy to break the record, and so convincingly. It's a great feeling coming into the last lap knowing the job is done! I've found that using BICARRB has really given me an edge in racing and, just as importantly, helped me recover better between key training sessions.”
