I am a somewhat serious runner and I started to not only compare myself to the World Records as in I can do 70% of the WR for 400m but also to the age groups. It is fascinating that I cannot beat any under 70 record at all although I am very fit compared to the general population. So while old age is definitely a decline the achievable levels are still quite impressive. World records for 60 year old men are so good they might as well be the real WR for me
Is there a video of his run?<p>EDIT: Well that's embarrassing... I didn't see the video the first time I checked on my phone, but looking again there are a few videos in plain sight. Mea culpa.
Well done for this guy, but the headline seems somewhat redundant.<p>Only someone who is older than 95 can break the record for the 95 and over age group. Ie that's like saying '2-legged man broke an Olympic record for X'.
