B. Lagat running 28:45 @ peach 10k @ 43yo ... what could or would that be worth at age 18-38 ... 26:34 ..?
-
Could this be one of the greatest masters performances of all time ..?
-
It's only 15 seconds faster than the previous 43 yo best and Castille also ran 29:04, 13 days before his 45th birthday.
-
The 43 year old best was set 15 days before his 45th Birthday? Odd.
-
Did Castille ever run a 3:26 1500?

The previous 43 yo record best was 29:00 by Nelson Chirchir.

Dam, according to that list at 63 years old Ed Whitlock race a 35 min 10k. -
This is awesome I agree. Not worth a 26:34 though!
-
He can run close to 28:00 on a flat course. Castille was way behind, no reason to think he is doping (although he might have some moral deficiencies?)
-
Jack Foster did pretty well at the marathon in his forties. Time will tell.

Not really - your first birthday is the day of your birth (duh), your second birthday is when you turn 1 year old, etc. So he had lived 43 years and 350 days and had 44 birthdays at that point. -

Sounds about right, he also ran a 1:18:38 HM the same year in Toronto.
I'm lucky enough to have lived near him and we were entrants in many races together. I thought he had a very impressive period around age 69-70, showing that he didn't really slow down much from his early 60s to 70, which is very impressive. His ATB 30k in 1:57:39 at age 69 is incredible - it's a tough course with a few long, painful hills in the end stages. He also ran a few 5k races in 17:25 - 17:40 during this period. -

I honestly get what you're saying, but 18-38 is a biiiig gap..maybe 18-28? 43 is another world from 25. Still incredibly strong, but the body is surely different. -

Drew Hunter Vs B. Lagat over 1500/Mile in early August ...who wins ? -
B. Lagat has long been a freak of nature and probably shouldn't be compared to any other human on earth .
Not sure what this be worth at 30 ... Hard to gauge , maybe a min faster - 27:45 on a fast road course -
He ran 27:48 on the roads when he was 40...obviously he would have run a lot faster when he was 30.

EPO is one helluva drug. -
It is worth 101%, slightly better than EdW's venerable 2:54 age 73. It converts to 3:53 mile age 40, 27:34 age 40 and 26:04 age 25.
So, definitely one of the top masters performances ever.
