Man, 101, to run marathon

A 101-year-old man is aiming to become the world's oldest compe ive athlete by running in the London Marathon.



Buster Martin ran the Roding Valley half marathon in Essex in five hours 13 minutes, and is now focusing on London's 26-mile event.

The BBC reports that, on finishing the run, the first words of the working plumber were: "Where's my beer?"

Mr Martin, who has 17 children, started work again at Pimlico Plumbers in London three years ago because he was bored.

Charlie Mullins, managing director of Pimlico Plumbers, said he was "amazed" when Mr Martin appeared at work on Monday morning after his exertions.

He said: "I was amazed and delighted, he turned up on time and set to work polishing the vans. He's a revelation."

Mr Martin's trainer is marathon enthusiast Harmander Singh, who helped Fauja Singh, 96, break the London marathon record for the over-90s.

Buster, who lives in London, made headlines last year when he signed up as an agony uncle for men's magazine FHM, offering guidance to a younger generation.

He also found fame when The Zimmers, who had a combined age of more than 3,000 years, scored a hit single last year with a cover of The Who's My Generation.

I thought the same thing, he sure doesnt look 101 at all.

He looks early 80's to me.

Look at his hand and arm.......that's not the skin of someone 101.

[CubanMustGo]

He's got the teeth of someone 101, tho ...

I think I might laugh if he keels over & dies on mile 25.

“If I finish, I’ll do what I always do and have a pint and a ,” he said. “People ask what is my secret but I haven’t got one. They say s and booze are bad for you—but I’m still here, aren’t I?”
