    Eliud is definately pretty close to 50. Would be shocked if he was born after 1975.

    Technically that makes his records even more impressive.

    Most impressive of all time is Solomon Haile who was a high school phenom at the ripe old age of 82.

    It was proven that he was running races at 23 (and 22, 21, 20) before he enrolled in a Maryland high school.

    I could care less about age group records for people over 80. I'm just glad they can get out of the bed and remember where they are, LMAO! Life expectancy in the US is 78.4 years, so you make it past 80's your on borrowed time, well unless you are Ernestine Shepherd :)

    Isn't that a bit different? I thought people in East Africa were just deemed to be 7-ish when they started school before birth certificates. Taking off 20 years is a bit cheeky.

    Couldn't care less

    You are saying you still care a little. You are saying you could indeed care more

    He probably wasn't over 80.

    Likely was when he died, but possibly wasn't when he was meant to be 100.

    Would more double thresholds have got him away from the car fast enough?
