Whitlock, who was born in London, England later moving to Canada, ran as a teenager but quit while pursuing a career in engineering. He took up running again in his forties and began breaking records in his sixties... in 2000 at age 69 he was the oldest person to run the marathon distance in under three hours, with a time of 2:52:47. The marathon isn't the only distance Whitlock runs. He tears up the track, both indoor and out; here are some stats I found (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Whitlock):
