This guy ran a marathon under 3 hours at 70, and under 4 hours at 85.

This guy is a cardio machine.

Kudos to Ed for finding a passion like this in his life. I hope some film maker gets a chance to interview him, and to capture some footage of his feats.


Hell, I used to ride 20km a bit under 40min when 29, and I wasn't coasting ... that puts me just above that old man.


A sub 3 marathon is like 6 minutes 50-something seconds per mile. A 40 minute 20k is like a 3 minute 13 second mile.

More like "basically double" not "just above."

Unless my math is off someplace.


I meant ride on bike. Sorry if that was unclear.


No, it was clear you were talking about cycling but it is still a pace that's twice as fast.


But I thought I read his latest bike record was 23km/h ..


oh, i gotcha. i was thinking you were comparing running to biking
