Ed Whitlock is so fast that even scientists marvel. In October, at 85, he ran Toronto's @RunCRS marathon in under 4 hours. His career has been as unorthodox as it is remarkable. He trains alone in a cemetery near his home outside Toronto. He runs laps for 3 or 3 and a half hours at a time. At the marathon in Toronto, he raced in 15-year-old shoes and a singlet that was 20 or 30 years old. He has no coach, follows no special diet and doesn’t chart his mileage. He wears no heart-rate monitor. He takes no ice baths, gets no massages. He shovels snow in the winter and gardens in the summer but lifts no weights, does no situps or push-ups. He even avoids stretching, except the day of a race. “I believe people can do far more than they think they can,” said Ed, a retired mining engineer who was born in greater London and speaks with British self-deprecation. “You have to be idiot enough to try it.” While he has made some concessions to growing older, Ed remains at the forefront among older athletes who have led scientists to reassess the possibilities of aging and performance. “We’ll see if I’m running when I’m 90,” he said. @ianwillms took this photograph of Ed at home in Milton, Ontario.
