I had an aortic root replacement at age 32
I was 452lbs.
I started hiking,which then turned to training,and is now turning into running.
I lost 252lbs of weight
over the last 5 years I've been running 5k and 10k
I sold my car and walk everywhere I go and have never been happier
there's much more to experience on foot
amazing...well done!
Such a terrific gentleman and his wife is lovely as well.
What a great human being!!! I’ve been a lifetime runner, now in my 60s and this guy really inspired me!! Thank you to whoever made this video possibly!! 👏👏👏👏
What a brilliant portrait of an extraordinary man.
Godspeed, Mr. Turnbull. You are and always will be an inspiration.
Goodness 2h42 is already amazing for any amateur runner, but at that age?!
Thanks for putting this video up. Really fascinating story.
21 years later and Derek Turnbull stills holds the world record for 65-year-olds in these distances - mile, 3000 metres, 5000 metres, 10000 metres and marathon. Sadly, Derek died in 2006, aged 79.
what disease did he die of?
How did he die? Cause of death?
I will be 65, in 7 months from now ... without any pre destined (genetic) base to be athletic, I started running only at the age of 56. (Never ever done any cardio sport in my life before, I was a total disaster as a kid) Nowadays, I run up to 50 times/year 20K-plus trainings and contests now (20 à 32km, often trail runs) and finish about at the 2/3 position group of all competitors (all ages together, I mean !! :-) ) My personal best time on classic road 1/2 marathon was this year 2021 in may. (Pace 5:27 km/min) It's amazing to know I could not run in my youth (excessive astma + extreme weak muscles), and now I can pass by quite some young people ! I will NOT stop running !!! :-) Changed my life ! I've still space to grow a few % in speed ! I know I'm not 'gifted' in any way, even my lungs are too small for my size... but it's pure dedication, and constant training. With a smile !
>>> Just yesterday :-) 22.4km trail run - 260hm. scontent-bru2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/246629032_10159539532218936_841338227682923490_n.jpg?_nc_cat=104&ccb=1-5&_nc_sid=730e14&_nc_ohc=XQzNvKq9ploAX-_QuUE&_nc_ht=scontent-bru2-1.xx&oh=6bb3b25fc41803017e5ca57eff93177e&oe=61719507
Enjoyed watching that, I have the book so it was good to put pictures to the words. Chur for the upload
People live for over 90 years because of their healthy lives styles. They exercise, don’t smoke or moderately in alcohol, no drugs, and eating good food. Proud of them I think they are super heroes.
Bullshit!!

great inspiration for us fellow old guys...I like the short dashes myself.
I did a 5k once,,,too long for my wimpy stamina...like two mile better or three...but now stick with dashes....recover in 3 days..ahha
You do know a 5k is 3,2 miles?
When you prank him,and he started chasing you
Shearing those sheep looks like hard work...only ran one marathon...1968...Artesia New Mexico...2:50.2...finished 6th...did stop at 10 miles to use the restroom..no forward progress for between 2 and 5 minutes....think the break actually helped...felt renewed after that break...an Irishman qualified for the marathon in Mexico City..for Ireland...time was 2:24..
May god bless him & every one with good health and wealth, From Mumbai INDIA 🇮🇳 Jai shri krishna 🙏
When I saw it I thought he was a sprinter.Good job anyway.
