85-Year-Old Marathoner Continues to Set Records: ‘I Believe People Can Do Far More Than They Think’

Ed Whitlock ran his first marathon at age 44, and four decades later he is still running marathons — and setting new records. In October, Whitlock — now 85 — became the oldest person to run 26.2 miles in less than four hours after completing the Toronto Waterfront Marathon in 3 hours 56 minutes 34 seconds, according to The New York Times. “I believe people can do far more than they think they can,” Whitlock, a retired mining engineer who lives in Toronto, Canada, told The Times.
