Another way to “run in place” is to pull the foot straight up to the butt, instead of reaching the knee out in front like in that video clip. I think both have value as a training exercise, but what’s in the video probably isn’t the closest way to mimic running form. It might be harder/more strenuous.
I will be following this thread… I am a bit older than you and am pursuing a slightly slower time but not far off… I look forward to your updates… best of luck!
Hopefully there will be more coverage of athletes like this moving forward!
Let’s watch Masters Athletics! This is a quick summary of MastersTube and what the goal of this channel is! Finally a place to view Masters Athletics! The pl...
This thread sets the record for the quickest crash of a "dream performance." one 7 minute mile run and he is injured and done! At least Coe-bra and the Swedish track coach lasted a couple months.
Remember the thread from years ago about Rono? Wanting to set a masters world record or something. My memory was all he did was do saunas and little to no actual running. Lol.

I vaguely recall he still did something like a 5:30-45 mile with a huge gut though. Someone else will probably have the particulars.
Not sure about the 20-year layoff, but the Masters Rankings website all-time 1500m list (no mile list so add 20 seconds) has over 100 M40-44 performances below 4:00 (or approximately 4:20 mile). However, for US rankings from 2019 (prior to Covid) the fastest M40-44 mile was 4:37.02 (age 44).
Bernard Lagat ran a 3:57.91 outdoor mile and a 3:54.91 indoor mile in 2015, when he was 40 years old. He also ran a 13:06.78 5,000m (at the Rio Olympics) and a 27:49.35 10,000m (a PR -- I think it may be the only 10,000 he ever ran) in 2016, at 41; a 1:02:00 HM in 2018, at 43; and a 2:12:10 marathon in 2019, at 44. Does the Masters Rankings website rely on self-submissions or something?
includes results from masters meets (five-year age groups from M/W30-34 up - although USATF Masters had added a M/W25-29 age group). In addition, masters can self-submit (if they ran/jumped/threw in an open meet) but must provide verification in the form of meet results.

Calf is starting to feel better. Follow me on Strava, definitely not done!

He needs some magic! The Swedish online coach is the very best. Think I remember the great Swede is COACH JS ?
I never quit running but at 40, no way could I get close to my highschool mile, also under 420. I was still around 440 at 40 but if you even get to that count me impressed after not running for so long. I'm guessing at least 2 years to even figure out how fast you can go. I wish you luck and careful with injuries.
