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

      • 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?)

        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.

      • 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.

      • 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.
