That's impressive. Running 200 meters at 81 years of age alone is quite the feat, but at that rate is really amazing.

Most people rust out and not wear out

That's incredibly impressive. I'm willing to bet 95% of the OT couldn't go sub-30 in a 200m.

ETA: apparently that's Kenton Brown, not Bob Lida. Lida died in 2020

Why do Twitter bros post the dumbest unverified engagement bait slop? Now I'm mad

Twitter is 95% AI slop for clicks. You have to verify anything people post about.

Another fake story

Bob Lida was real a man and this is a real video of a real event. He died in 2020 at the age of 83.

And that video was Kenton Brown running in Albuquerque 2 weeks ago, not Bob Lida. You can see his name on the video board at the end.

True, but that's not Bob Lida in the OP

That's a video of Kenton Brown, you can Google him and see the difference

Also true .. which makes the OP's video even make less sense. Except to fish for clicks

Apparently Kenton Brown is 81 and ran a 29.7

track results

Apparently 29.15 is the record for 80-84.

Thats pretty insane and awesome. I ran sub 22 in HS, now I'm getting close to 50 and in great shape for my age, but not 100% sure I could go to a track and run a 29 today.

On top of that he did it indoors which is even harder!

Hmm, I'm dubious he's 81.

I showed a video like this to my uncle (he has since passed away) once and he said, "Yeah, Legend......I bet he didn't fall off the top of his house and land on a ladder in his mid-60s, either."

Unc always said that it isn't just the mileage that matters, especially if most of those miles are off road.

That guy was moving, though.

Age is just a number, if you take care of yourself and good genetics doesn't hurt either.
