Congratulations to the masters athletes for such a demonstration of quality running in Beijing, with GB winning. We salute you! Thanks to the WMA and the IAAF for making this happen and we look forward to full participation in London 2017. Peter Kennedy, BMAF
I'm 62 in 5 months and hoping to go sub 2:20. I should be able to go sub 2:30, but 2:20 is a big ask. But you have to set your goals high, otherwise there's little satisfaction in achieving them, and all the more satisfying when you do.
Atta boy! Go for it, am 63 and I was a national 110m hurdler. Now into cycling, after a knee injury put paid to my athletics. But I follow everything that happens. Go for it buddy, you can.
Gonna have to run in these big races. I am 57 and I can go sub 2.20. Just have to find out when and where this stuff is held. Never find out about this stuff. Only races on iaaf i can find are road races.
Masters Championships, Birmingham, over weekend of Sept 18th and 19th. Enter by Sept 2nd. Would like to do 100, 200, 400 and 800, but I think best to save myself for just the 800. Here's the timetable: www.bmaf.info/library/fixtures/Timetable17-180916Prov.pdf
Also Tipton, Aug 27th @ 3:45pm. An open graded track event. I'm running the 800, hoping for a sub 2:30. tiptonharriers.co.uk/index.php/2014-04-06-16-00-58/news-2016/2253-summer-series-4-saturday-27-august-2016.html
My goals are: 100 metres in 13.5 secs or less, 200 sub 27, 400 sub 60, 800 sub 2:20, mile sub 5:30, 3000 sub 11 mins, half marathon sub 90 mins (93:37 last year).
Great running. I wonder how many of them will be racing when they are 75. That is when I START my serious Masters running. I call myself a Mature Master runner, especially a Mature Master Miler who be eligible for over 75 records on June 12, 2019. I was born 6 days after D-Day by design. Stephen Lee Ethridge.
Why don't they give medals to these Masters athletes ... they are depicting self-realization of the capability of human race ... The medals could be smaller and lighter than the medals for the normal world championships
Ovett is a class act, funny, top commentator and nice bloke

LeBourne faded to fourth, but it was a world record that still stands!
Very proud of all of them
А допинг - контроль , в этих соревнованиях есть ?
Genial 🌷🌹
Father Ted was in that race!
Ovett should be commentating on main stream athletics.
FANTASTIC introduction for the French and Australian runners and the German dude looks like Steve Nash's father😅
Bravooooo
good muscle tone these people
hair is a growth industry Steve Ovett
Curious as to why no medal presented to 2nd and 3rd place finishers in 400 or 800ms here?
Good asse or dalo
Британцы держат марку. Молодцы!

Hey thanks. Keep in touch man. Might see you at meet. My next race is going to be Minnesota mile sept.11. ..Should be a good one. Try to go sub 5.40.
This is Birmingham, UK, by the way. Was forgetting you're in US. I ran a 5:38 mile a month ago.
My goals are: 100 metres in 13.5 secs or less, 200 sub 27, 400 sub 60, 800 sub 2:20, mile sub 5:30, 3000 sub 11 mins, half marathon sub 90 mins (93:37 last year).
They was supposed to give them a medal because they run very good for there ages
Johny Gray 1.48 age 40. Wonder what he'll do age 50
Im 49, I think if I train I can break 2:00 minutes.
I am sure you can
Ealon Wallace Are you in training for it ?
sounds good
❤❤
Congratulations sir🎉🥳

Today is June 14, are you ready? Good luck.
Hajrá Magyarok !

Steve.. that blood doping only works once
Why do they not handout proper medals? At least they can handout coated medals.
