90 year old Grandma Dot Sowerby has recently smashed the American age group records for both the half marathon and USATF 1500 meter records. Odds that she is taking PEDs? I don't think you can do this clean, not at her age. And she claims to have done this with "training advice from her retirement community and a diet of raw vegetables and liver" and only expects to get faster. That is just absurd.
The Chicago Lifetime Half Marathon, held on September 24, 2023, had a lot of amazing contenders, but 90-year-old Dot Sowerby stood out among the crowd as she valiantly crossed the finish line with a time of 3:33:47, setting the new American women’s record for 90-94 age group.

This isn’t the first time she’s made history. Just this past July, Sowerby competed in the USATF Masters Outdoor Championships in Greensboro and broke the 1,500 meter world record for women over 90, finishing at 11:30:62. This is a minute faster than the previous record held by Canadian Lenore Montgomery’s time, 12:34:67.
