From Athletics Weekly:
Sergey Polikarpov of Kazakhstan as he won the M60 3000m in a world record 9:43.11 with three even-paced kilometres.
The previous record of 9:43.88 belonged to Britain’s Andrew Brown, set 25 years ago.

Solid time for a man that age

He's Russian. Interesting.
Maybe he just identifies as 60+
Actually I see he's from Kazakhstan, not Russian. I may have unfairly tarred him with a Cossack brush.
Lots of Russians live in Kazakhstan.

When the guy who ruled Kazakhstan for three decades resigned a week ago, he did it in Russian.

It's an incredible performance for a guy in his sixties. I speak as a guy in his sixties. Either he has genes from another planet, or ... he does what most good athletes apparently do in that part of the world.

Second place runner also ran pretty fast. He is an interesting dude from northern Finland. He is the director of northern Finland tax bureau. He does not run lots of distance, mostly just running to office and back home after work. I saw him ran 10.00 solo on 3000m in february, so nice improvement by running with Polikarpov.
Apparently Kaarlo Maaninka was competing at this meet.

Good to see an Irishman on the podium!
I ran 10:30 for 3200 meters this year at 53. How much will I fall off over the next 7 years?

Three seconds per mile per year equals 42 seconds. Thus you will run 11:12 for 3200 at 60.
At first I thought that was a steeplechase time.

You're doing great for your age. However, here's the bad news: studies say you will lose 1.5-5% muscle mass each year after 50. If you continue to remain active you may lose it at the lower figure, but age age 53 that still amounts to a 10% loss by age 60. If you keep training, your cardiovascular fitness may decline less, but because you are losing strength your heart and lungs are having to work harder at maintaining the same given pace. At that likely rate of decline you will be doing well to be a minute slower over the distance than you are now.

Sorry, I need to correct a figure above: the percentage given of 1.5-5% loss each year after fifty is for strength, not muscle mass.
Uhhh, yea, I'd test him...
