"Performance is not limited by age. It is shaped by approach."
— Mike Sheridan · British Marathon Record Holder

Started at 60.
World Record at 70.

Mike Sheridan did not grow up as an elite runner. He started at 60, broke three hours within five years, and by 73 had done it again — one of only four people in the world to ever achieve a sub-3 marathon beyond the age of 70.

He holds the British M70 marathon record, the World M70 50km track record, and is a World Marathon Majors Champion. If you are serious about your running, this is direct access to someone who has systematised elite performance at the age most people stop trying.
