Best run of the weekend on the roads? At the British Masters 10km at Grangemouth, Alastair Walker obliterates the world M65 record with a stunning 34:32 - taking a minute off the previous best pic.twitter.com/xFpiUFQEun
It has been two decades since I have run such a time, but no regrets. I have other priorities now. There are guys on the 50+ thread, near that age that can hang with that for much of the way.
Sadly, i'm completely over being excited about any masters records since there is no random drug testing.
Here's what is needed to determine whether we should celebrate or determine he's dirty. 1. When did he start running 2. How fast did he run in his 40s and 50s If he started running 10 years ago and he was hitting 45min 10k back at that point, i'd say it's legit. But if he started running 20+ years ago and was running 35s in his late 50s, i'd say he's dirty

In his defense, nobody in their right mind will accuse him of TRT. Take a look at his pic.

lol! so true in this case. but while this guy doesn't look like he is on anything, looks can be subjective which is why i believe past times and training are more objective indicator.
67 years old. Fantastic what this guy is doing. After 46 years of running and racing it takes me 30 minutes just to straighten up every morning when I get out of bed.
This is a world class athlete with a world class cardiovascular system. I"m 65 and, on a good day (at mile high altitude), can get in the 45's. His performance is unbelievably good
Tell me it was a downhill, point-to-point course. A bit depressing to me that an old dude beat my 10K best by 30+ seconds. When I'm 65 I'll be lucky to run 64:32.
