How would you respond?
I've posted my running result this morning. I promise I'm not a complete running bore, but this was a long race and a 20 minute personal best, so I was pretty chuffed.
There are lots of lovely comments and one man who said "excellent running, you're a fit old bird". If context is needed, I'm 53, he's 40ish and married.
Now, clearly he thinks he's being funny and/or nice, but I feel I need to say "something".
I know him fairly well IRL, through running. He's nice enough, but I'd say not terribly bright and I doubt he really gets why this might not be funny.

I think really you’ll just come across as humourless.

I wouldn't say anything. It was not intended to cause offence

He's a dick. Understand where you're coming from OP, don't rise to it
