That guy wasn't lying about his World Record at 55 either! I thought he was just BS'ing... He's legit!

That guy has become my hero.
Legend.
That guy is awesome.
He looks good for 62 and yes, he is much faster than me. I bet I could take him in a marathon though.
Another fast guy, he ran anchor on Allies team>

I was going to post that that guy was awesome, but I see a few people have beat me to it. You could just tell what he was saying was legit. I really like his attitude.
Bullshit on the 325 bench at 52 years and 160 lbs.
Now there is a role model. Eat well and stay active. Awards don't mean anything to him anymore, it's the camaraderie.
Check out Charles on the first leg. Finishes like a train.
I've never ran a 400 to run a 400, but I have a sinking feeling that I could not beat him, and I'm almost 30 years younger.
Yes he is. Nothing but props to that guy and everyone that still runs for the Love of the sport!
I like how he is straightforward with his achievements, avoiding both arrogance or false modesty. He has truly earned the obvious satisfaction he enjoys from the simple joy of running fast (55 split at 62!).
That dude is one of my new heros!

Oh, he's much more than that. Charles is a legend. And his teammates on the relay George Haywood, Bill Collins,and Horace Grant are also some of the finest Masters athletes on the planet!
When you see and hear blokes like that it makes you proud to be part of the running fraternity,way to go,Charles.
