Canadian racing legend Ed Whitlock, 80 years young, ran the Rotterdam marathon in 3:25 over the weekend. That's 7:50/mile for 26 miles. Jaw-droppingly impressive!
Ed has an extremely unusual training regimen: He runs 3 hours a day, all of it in a cemetery. He covers a one-third-of-a-mile loop on a paved path. He doesn't count laps, stopping when his watch indicates three hours. He said he will not run the roads because drivers "aim" at him. Besides, Whitlock prefers running in circles. "You don't have to face the wind for very long," he said.
