London Marathon: Hundreds of over-70s are running. This is what motivates them
It is one of the toughest feats in sport, a 26.2-mile hit on the body and mind — a distance completed by only the few.

A high-caliber elite field will compete for prize money and prestige, but a little further behind will be fun runners of all abilities, some confounding our perceptions of what the human body is capable of, assuring us that much can still be achieved after a certain age.Advertisementالمصدر: The Athletic | Source: The Athletic
