Pre was only 24 when he died but he looked mid 40s?

Blurry image.

It's a real phenomenon.

People looked older in those days from all the cigarette smoking.

It’s because people had more children and everyone knows that each additional child ages you by another five years compared to had you not had it. The scientific explanation is quantum entanglement of sperm with all of your telomeres, which results in the process of the winning sperm fertilizing an egg to automatically initiate telomere shortening that starts slowly and then reaches its peak during the first couple years of delivery causing relativistic time contraction. This is the Schrödinger-Heisenbergian theory of quantum aging, the first substantive connection between quantum and gravity that physicists have long sought.

Running, drinking, and mustache all age you.

Classic age cheat

24 for what, 8K?

Dude, you and I OP, we have had synchronicity. Where did you get the idea to think of Prefontaine today?

It could be that we both saw the same thing via algorithms that made us think of him, but I ALSO thought that he looked pretty old in his last year.

He was an alcoholic, anyway. That and the facial hair, and no sunscreen in the 60s-70s

Oh yeah. It's the algorithm for sure. We're following the same channel

Plus the grainy B&W photo didn't help much.

Robert Redford would like a word

Drunks always look older than they actually are.

If you downvoted this, you either think I'm a blowhard, you're dumb, or you don't realize the significance of both OP and I seeing rundreamachieve's YouTube post today with a Pre photo, Pre running hills.

The significance being either the fact that both OP and I respectively made a google search about (I) or made a LRC forum post regarding how old Pre looked, and the fact that also, even though RunDreamAchieve made the post 9-10 hours ago, both OP and I made our respective search queries or LRC posts about this very topic at around 8 hours after the RunDreamAchieve post

OR even more crazy, if OP didn't even see that post today, but he happened to think about how Pre looked old on tue same day that I also had that thought, and then immediately I looked up and saw the LRC post he had made about the thing I was thinking about at that very instant

this is what he actually looked like around the time of OPs photo

Too much hard running & drinking maybe? 🤔

I'm 37 and look about 25. BMI 19.5, never smoked, never drink, never taken drugs, no sunlight from 18-30 (computer games), low mileage.

Ah the long lost Runner character from The Village People

lol, the post. Reading that rag isn't helping your mental health, brah.
