One can very easily find the age of old indians by asking what they were doing and how old they were when the brits left. If he were really 119, he would in his late 40s or even early 50s when the brits left. That's impossible. Or ask about his eldest children and their age. Indians in those days had their first child in their mid teens to early 20s at the most.

It would be nice right? Seems to me that people should be able to live to 110-120 more often. I. Sure there have been people in history that have lived longer. But I tend to think something about the christian views have a truth. About how the earliest men lived hundreds of years. And over the years basically the corruption of sin has reduced the power of our spirit. When you view sin as basically just anything that is unatural, harmfully to us mentally and physically. This makes sense to me in a way.

I'll be 69 in a week, and am planning to get in better shape and compete in 'Masters' track & field events. Am focusing on javelin and triple jump. Those were my 2 best events when I quit competing in my late-teens. I don't think the man showcased is 119, but I fully respect him and his great attitude.

Whether or not he is 119 or 78, it is still amazing and a testament that "the fountain of youth" is exercise. Running can really beat your body up and if training is not judicious can be injury prone--many older runners eventually go on to cycling and swimming which is less impact due to bad knees, hips etc. I would have liked if the film explored his running roots and his training through the decades. As for the NYT article, why didn't they run a DNA test for age? They do it for rocks and fossil forensics? I ran NYC marathon at 44 and am still bragging about it but have gone on to 20 years of yoga and now at 62 training hand balancing and Aerial hoop. No nursing home for me--when I die I want to be spinning upside down like this Indian man running on...

That is the kind of health all the people in India deserve, hopefully the true ones would achieve it for them.

I love close-mindedness of doctors; don't they know that everything in nature follows bell-curve? Out of so many people that are alive, and so many people who have been alive in the past, is it impossible that there is one who is 119 and can run a marathon? Birth dates have only been recorded for a few millenia for a few kings and queens in a small part of the world - and only for a few decades for ordinary people. They are still not recorded in large parts of the world at all. Meanwhile, there has been many tens of thousands of years of unrecorded human history before that. Who are these doctors to say that it is impossible? Maybe the oldest runner died in 50000 BC at the age of 430? We will never know.

- Everything in nature is a normal distribution. No. - Birth dates recorded and "oldest runner" We can know the aprox. age of death of a body even if it is thousands of years old... life expectancy has increased a lot just by looking at the last 200 years. Africa's life expectancy almost doubled in one century. This happened bc of higyene and healthcare advancements, it was't casual. Before, there weren't means of elongating life as there are today, and pretty much all world population was miserably poor. There is no point in being "open-minded" if you don't know about the topic, being open-minded doesn't necesarily imply ignoring what knowledge suggest today but being open to change it. It's true however that it might happen, and that there is a vast part of the world where this measures are not extended so it might have happened.

I agree and the lack of record-keeping regarding his age kind of lends credibility to his claim that he is 119, as we can assume record-keeping improved as time went on. I don't know much about record-keeping in India, and it might be worse in rural areas, but you would think it would be more likely that the records for those in their late 70s would be much better than those born in 1897. Plus, he had to have known how old he was at certain points in history. They should ask him about national or world events that he can match to certain stages in his life if they want to verify his age. I also think that it's not such a coincidence that he's 119 and running marathons. Staying active helped him live longer.

I don't believe he is the age he thinks he is, however I'm 57 and he is definitely older than me and I can't even run 50m without massive pain. This guy regardless of whatever his real age is gives me more inspiration to exercise and go on "fast walks" as I'm trying to do these days.

Shri Dharam Singh Gurjar ji is an inspiration for millions of people. Whether he is of 119 or 89. Doesn't matter.. what matter is. That he is completing marathon in this age.. and the young generation is destroying their bodies by eating junk food

I turn 50 next week and I’m having major issues reconciling with this.. definitely worrying over it a lot. This guy, whether he truly is 117 or not, maybe around 80.. is inspirational. I train 6 days a week at my gym lifting weights, have been doing this consistently for almost 7 years now, & I can’t imagine not doing it. Kudos to this gentleman

I am shocked that this story has things I can buy in it that will help with old age. It's a miracle

Conclusion : If u want stay a healthy life without medical problems Keep Running.

"Run, Dharam, RUN!"

I think the takeaway should be that if a person so old can keep himself fit enough to run , then we ought to keep ourslef fit not fight if he's truly that old and should get a record or not

Well done video - thanks for that! Well done Mr Singh!

Regardless of his actual age, to be running a marathon at any age over 75 is fascinating.

He looks like he's in 80s. There are lots of ways to verify his age including relatives, children, school documents and an extensive interview. That being said. Even for an 80 year old, running at all is impressive. Running 3 miles in 46 minutes at his age is mind blowing.

You can't base it on looks. Someone can look a lot older than their age because they are unhealthy, and someone else can look a lot younger because they are very healthy.

I have no doubt. In my 20s I could not get tired from running. I would run two hours, then kyak for 2, then exercise for one hour, just for fun. Nearly 60 now, and my resting heart rate I got down to 37 bpm, while waiting for a total hip replacement - which I finally received four weeks ago. Physio cannot believe I can already run. I am looking forward to breaking some records now and people talk a lot about food, sleep, herbs, and all that - but the main thing is discipline, conviction and belief. Endurance comes from a lifetime of endurance - there is no short cut.

my grandfather was in his 90's and he could easily live 100+ years but a accident took his life last year...actually he was a active person and that accident took his leg from him and that thought of not be able to walk again made him week which resulted in slow recovery of his leg and finally he left his body to walk again.
