Good for him! That’s so cool. I’m 75 but only run 5 and 10 k races. But huge compliments to this man.
How many miles do you run per week? Weight, height?
@@mikevaldez7684 I can’t run in the summer here in Texas. When it’s cooler, I run three days a week about four or five, sometimes six miles per day. I finished first in my age group in June in a 10 k. But I was the only one in my age group. Probably will be that way in almost any race in San Antonio
Great hearing from an "Elder" runner. Inspiration. Thanks for seeking him out
My only challenge in getting him on was that he was running a 250 miler the week I called him!
Most excellent video. Beautifully crafted interview questions with equally down to earth advice for us “oldies but goodie’s”. Thank you both.
Very inspirational. I particularly like the reference to having the patience to have a break from running when injured and return when healthy no matter how long it takes. I recall Ed Whitlock mentioned that he stopped running for a year because of knee arthritis but returned to running successfully.
Thanks, this is great information
This is truly an inspirational story 😀
Inspiration 😉
we all need it!
Gene Dykes and Amby Burfoot Ageless leading runners 😀😀
70's? The last Chicago Marathon I ran had runners in their 80's! Very motivating because you don't want to finish behind them, ha ha.
I still run at 75, but much slower now, 5k & 10k around 9:30 min. mile, closer to 10:00 min mile in half's. Seem to have lost speed in last year, not gradual, just went down fast.
did I tell that guy he could wear those damn goggles?
They're Gucci.
I admire people like this and love hearing their stories, but I need to remind myself that these are elite and unique to the human race. Their advice and training will never enable me to run a 3 hour marathon. Then I think, I don't have to, but I can take a half hour off my six and a half hour time.
You nailed it John! It's not about being faster than anyone else.
Right! It's just about challenging yourself at the level you're at and recognizing you are probably capable of more than you think.
Wish the interviewer would talk less and listen more. Isn't that why we tuned in, to listen to Gene?
I'd believe genetics would havea lot to do with this!!!
And drugs
Gene who? I was told we don't use that word anymore lol
"-Don’t sprint! Why Gene and older runners should avoid sprinting"
Putting this under a video where a 70 years old guy sprints 42k is kind of funny :D
80 still run not too fast because men walking can pass but do 4 miles and step race rest of day 8-10 miles. Female
