I love accurate reporting.
Re: Man, 101, to run London Marathon
It gets better, apparently he married a 13 year old. Must have been the style at the time.
You French are weird. Weird like le Fox.

If it took him over 5 hours to run a half Marathon and he could keep up that pace then it would take him over ten hours to run the Marathon.
At 26 miles that well under 3 miles an hour.
He's running fuck all, it's a gentle walking pace.
And also he's not a plumber, he cleans the vans for a company of plumbists.

Re: Man, 101, to run London Marathon
Only if you count about 2.5 miles an hour as running.
Which it clearly isn't.
Re: Man, 101, to run London Marathon
Running is when both feet leave the floor, walking is when one foot leaves the ground in turn.
Which did he do?
Re: Man, 101, to run London Marathon
No one can run at that speed, it's too slow to be running. You have all sort of gravity issues
Walking speed is what, 4 mph. A fast walk sans the hip thing is about 6.5 mph. Speed walking with the wiggle is about 9.
You cant run at 2.5 mph unless you are on the fucking Moon.
