Not feeling quite as fast as you once did?
Are you struggling with no longer setting
life time PRs and only working on age group PRs?
Not to worry--there's always a new challenge
you can find. Buster Martin of London is
currently training
for the London
Marathon with a plan to set a world
record. Buster Martin was born in 1907 and
is 101 years old. If he completes this race,
as he recently did with a half marathon, he
will become the oldest person to finish a
marathon.
While race times and performances slow down
for older athletes, it is still possible to
produce amazing performances. A recent article
noted, that "the world best marathon time for
men 70 or older (2:54:05) was set by a
74-year-old. That is more than four minutes
faster than the winning marathon time at the
first modern Olympics, the 1896 Games in Athens."
