Age-group records aren't generally big news, so it's perhaps understandable I missed this one. According to a report in Ken Stone's masters blog, 47-year-old (!!) Jesus Borrego of Spain set a new world record for the 1500 meters last Saturday, July 12.
47 years old, eh? Ok, go ahead and guess what time he ran.
Would it help if I mentioned that the listed WR for men 45-49 is John Hinton's 3:56.39? Or that the listed WR for the 1 Mile is Tony Young's 4:16.09 from earlier this year?
Ok, time's up. According to the Spanish blog Atletismo y algo más, Borrego ran 3:52.43, the equivalent of a 4:11 mile.
At 47.
Yikes.
