I had an aortic root replacement at age 32 I was 452lbs. I started hiking,which then turned to training,and is now turning into running. I lost 252lbs of weight over the last 5 years I've been running 5k and 10k I sold my car and walk everywhere I go and have never been happier there's much more to experience on foot

amazing...well done!

Such a terrific gentleman and his wife is lovely as well.

What a great human being!!! I’ve been a lifetime runner, now in my 60s and this guy really inspired me!! Thank you to whoever made this video possibly!! 👏👏👏👏

What a brilliant portrait of an extraordinary man.

Godspeed, Mr. Turnbull. You are and always will be an inspiration.

Thanks for putting this video up. Really fascinating story.

Goodness 2h42 is already amazing for any amateur runner, but at that age?!

Enjoyed watching that, I have the book so it was good to put pictures to the words. Chur for the upload

21 years later and Derek Turnbull stills holds the world record for 65-year-olds in these distances - mile, 3000 metres, 5000 metres, 10000 metres and marathon. Sadly, Derek died in 2006, aged 79.

I will be 65, in 7 months from now ... without any pre destined (genetic) base to be athletic, I started running only at the age of 56. (Never ever done any cardio sport in my life before, I was a total disaster as a kid) Nowadays, I run up to 50 times/year 20K-plus trainings and contests now (20 à 32km, often trail runs) and finish about at the 2/3 position group of all competitors (all ages together, I mean !! :-) ) My personal best time on classic road 1/2 marathon was this year 2021 in may. (Pace 5:27 km/min) It's amazing to know I could not run in my youth (excessive astma + extreme weak muscles), and now I can pass by quite some young people ! I will NOT stop running !!! :-) Changed my life ! I've still space to grow a few % in speed ! I know I'm not 'gifted' in any way, even my lungs are too small for my size... but it's pure dedication, and constant training. With a smile ! >>> Just yesterday :-) 22.4km trail run - 260hm. scontent-bru2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/246629032_10159539532218936_841338227682923490_n.jpg?_nc_cat=104&ccb=1-5&_nc_sid=730e14&_nc_ohc=XQzNvKq9ploAX-_QuUE&_nc_ht=scontent-bru2-1.xx&oh=6bb3b25fc41803017e5ca57eff93177e&oe=61719507

You do know a 5k is 3,2 miles?

People live for over 90 years because of their healthy lives styles. They exercise, don’t smoke or moderately in alcohol, no drugs, and eating good food. Proud of them I think they are super heroes.

Forgetting About Infinite Time

Shearing those sheep looks like hard work...only ran one marathon...1968...Artesia New Mexico...2:50.2...finished 6th...did stop at 10 miles to use the restroom..no forward progress for between 2 and 5 minutes....think the break actually helped...felt renewed after that break...an Irishman qualified for the marathon in Mexico City..for Ireland...time was 2:24..

When you prank him,and he started chasing you

May god bless him & every one with good health and wealth, From Mumbai INDIA 🇮🇳 Jai shri krishna 🙏
