Vyacheslav Shabunin (09/27/1969) just ran an 8:04.34 Indoor 3k smashing Marcus Sullivan (Ireland) mark of 8:09.13!!
Little research shows youth PR's for V.S. of:
1500m ~ 3:32.28
Mile ~ 3:49.83
Half Marathon ~ 1:01:29!!
As a 39 3/4 yr old ran 3:41.41 for 1500m!
SMOKING!!
Smoking is right...question is exactly WHAT is he smoking.
That is seriously fast 3k at any age let alone 40!

Possible 600 meter World record there:
http://eng.rusathletics.com/nov/nov.php?ind=5740J. Gray has the indoor 600 yard Masters WR
and of course the the outdoor record as well.
His split in the 2000 oly trials may have been 1:20 for a Masters record before slowing and finishing last in his heat. He was leading up to the 600 point. Heats: I-1. Mark Everett (unat) 1:47.15 (53.0/54.2); 2. Bryan Woodward (Reeb) 1:47.43 (52.9/54.5) (27.0); 3. Trinity Townsend (NBal) 1:47.89 (52.8/55.1); 4. Matthew Kalwinsky (Reeb 1:49.16 (53.0/56.2); 5. Anders Christiansen (unat) 1:50.95; 6. Johnny Gray (SMTC) 1:53.27 (52.84/60.43).
