Stopping The Rot On The Bog

[Mid Life Crisis Marathon Man]

MLCM - the 1:30 is very ambitious but I'm thinking at 39 it's now or never for speed. I think endurance can improve as you get older. Don't know what you think about this?

Well there needs to be some compensation for slowing down as we get older...

But seriously? I suspect improved endurance is more a factor of training, training and more training, rather than being a benefit of aging as such. We should ask the bloke in the pic below - he knows a thing or two about the subject (trivia question - he held the world marathon record for almost 12 years. Who is he?).
