“Sometimes you just start flying,” he said, “and it works out.”

Holy shit!!!!!!!!!!  :o :o :o :o :o :o :o

Would like to also see the 40yo sedentary though.
Target training paces (min/km), calculated from 5K PR 22:49 :
Easy run : 5:48
Tempo run : 4:50
VO2-max run :4:21
Speed form run : 4:02

---

it's the biggest trick in the run game.. go slow to go fast. it doesn't make sense until it smacks you in the face and you're like ....... wtf?

Jeannie Rice with a 98.7% age grade half marathon at the 2019 Naples Half: 1:38:41 @ 70 years old. She's a marathon world record holder too. 💪



Apparently she was going for the WR, pretty close. About a minute off.

https://www.naplesnews.com/story/sports/2019/01/16/jeannie-rice-goes-half-marathon-world-record-naples/2591858002/

Elliott Mason took a photo with her. She looked *crazy strong* for 70.

"In August, Rice set the Masters American record in the mile, winning the USA Track and Field Masters 1 Mile Championships in Michigan. Her time of 6 minutes, 38 seconds was more than two minutes faster than the previous record.

A few weeks later in September, Rice beat the national record for her age group in the 5-kilometer distance in Naples at the Gulf Coast Runners Labor Day 5K. However, her time of 21:38 is not an official record because the course was not certified by the USATF.

The highlight of the year came in Chicago in October. Not only did Rice run a marathon faster than any woman 70 years old or older in history, but she breezed past the previous world record. Rice finished the Chicago Marathon in 3:27:50 to break the record by more than six minutes."




a local beast I know that took a photo with her:






an interview with her from a few years ago:

50-54 is probably considered old.

Brad Barton sets another WR.

4:19 mile in the 50-54 age group.
