Women Ultrarunners Age Like Fine Wine
Impressive! My best race, when about 45, was a 50 miler at Mile Square Park in Fountain Valley. Ten five mile loops on a dead flat course. 6:17.45. About a 7:32 mile pace. …Most recent effort, age 76, was a 25:45 5K with an 8:18 mile pace. Not fine wine. Still enjoyable.

Very popular with the University of Oregon women. Along with the mandatory long, ironed straight hair.
25:45 today in the Couples 5K. Results. Oldest in the race. 22 seconds slower than my best last year on a faster course. I’m thrilled, motivated, and 77 next month.

Today I ran with a 59 year old. He started running at age 10. Ran his first and only marathon age 13, finished in 2:45, breaking the national age group record. His last race was when a freshman in college.
