    Charles Eugster is the greatest British sprinter you've probably never heard of. He currently holds world records in the 200m (indoor) and 400m (outdoor) sprints, as well as British records in the 60m (indoor), 100m (outdoor), and 200m (outdoor). A couple of weeks ago, he narrowly missed out on the world record for the 60m sprint after pulling his hamstring halfway through. He still won the race to become European Champion. It's an impressive record, given that the man—by pretty well established standards—shouldn't be able to cross a road without help, let alone run. He is 96 years old.

    He gave a great interview on marathon talk some time ago. Really interesting and entertaining guy, a breath of fresh air in relation to setting boundaries.

    marathontalk.com seems to be down at the moment, I'll post the link to the episode once it is back up.
