There is a quote of “Old age is not for Sissies”. The expression emphasizes that aging is not a straightforward journey; it requires a willingness to confront the inevitable challenges of advancing years and handle with it.  

Jeannie Rice, a 76-year-old woman, breaks her own age-group world record at London Marathon on April 21, clocking in at an impressive three hours, 33 minutes and 27 seconds. With an averaged 8:08 per mile pace, she took 1:05 off her own record for the 75–79 age group, which she ran last October in Chicago (3:34:32).

This is not Rice’s first master’s world record. She also holds the women’s 70-74 marathon record of 3:27:50, which she set in 2018 at 70. This accomplishment adds to her impressive resume of master’s world records in distance running.
