david45 will be devastated.
I wonder if anyone and I mean anyone, under say 50, 55 years old has the slightest clue as to what a feat this is?

It isn't my fault I have no talent. I am not devastated because I can't control my talent.

A fantastic performance, and always nice to see a world record. It is still pretty far from Ed Whitlock's (Canada) 5:41.80 mile record for 75-79yo, or Jose Vicente Rioseco Lopez's (Spain) 5:11 record for the 1500m. Still a big feat to break 6min at 75. Probably easier to break 4min at 35 or 5min at 55 than it is to break 6min at 75.

I'm 63 now - still training - and ran under 5:00 (equivalent for 1500m) at 53, and 5:06 for an out and back U turn road mile at 56, and I'd say what this guy did is much harder that running 5:00 at 55. The world-records for 75-79 are just crazy fast.

Yeah, just like the GDR coach of Beyer, Straub, and Peter-Herold whose conviction for supplying child athletes with lethal peds, I was the first to report on an Engliah site.

He is. He will be on a sh*tload of Voltaren. Now, if he broke 5 minutes, that would be something else ...
He's not running 26 sub-6 miles (5.45 in fact) like a 60-year old marathon runner.

True. But he is not a 60-year old marathon runner.

You aren't really getting it. A 60 year old marathon runner who is competitive with good male marathon runners in their 20's, but a record- breaking 75 year old who is only as fast as a 10 or 11 year-old over a mile.

And you aren't really getting what it means to be 75. The difference between 60 and 75 can't be measured by years alone.

Of course. But the difference between what these two runners are doing 15 years apart (I am, by the way, half way between them) is not explained by aging alone. It isn't a decline. It is a gulf. It's almost like falling off a cliff the decline is so steep. I can accept as plausible the achievement of the 75-year old but a 60-year old running like a good athlete in his 20's I simply don't buy. I know what 60 is like (although I'm not pretending to be a world class athlete). The 75-year old is about as fast as an 10-11 year old kid over a mile. He has declined relatively far further in the last 15 years than the 60-year old has in 30 years. Far further. And yet the 75-year old is the best in the world.
Think about it some more. We are celebrating a 75-year old running a single mile in 5.59. And yet people see nothing questionable in an athlete only 15 years younger who is running 5.40-45 not for one mile but for 26 miles back to back. That's from outer space.
Very cool! That gives me 7 years to get back under 6:00 pace; working on it starting immediately.
Sub-6 at 75 is very intense. I'll set a goal of sub-30.96 F.A.T. 200m instead. Hopefully, I'll be able to sprint sub-30.96 200m on Feed the Cats training at age 75. Sub-6 mile at age 75 would mean 200m, 300m, 400m & 500m repeats with short recovery.
Note: sub-30.96 F.A.T. 200m is equal to 3:59.99 one mile.
No need to be bummed about how someone else runs. If anyone is significantly faster than you , you can probably beat them in most other physical contests, as long as you are also in good shape.

The RW article says he ran a sub 6 but official results say otherwise. He's listed as running 6:00 flat. Also, I see this is a certified course on the USATF site but do we really know it was accurate on race day?
