Marathon Training Old Man Jogging

Imagine yourself being 101 years old. Now, add to that drinking beer, smoking and staying out late. Would you train for a marathon in these conditions? Well, that’s exactly Buster Martin’s situation, and he’s preparing for the London marathon in April. A few weeks ago he completed a 13 mile half marathon in 5 hours. He would’ve done it a bit faster he said, but he had to stop to buy beer and cigarettes along the way.

A few other things about Buster Martin: he has 17 children, still works 3 days a week cleaning vans and he’s part of a senior rock band called the Zimmers, which apparently had a hit single in the UK last year.
