Every Week 6 Out Of 7 Mornings I Complete My Exercises,

in an effort to keep fit,


but that is nothing compared to Liaoning in China based Wang Lang, at roughly the same age she is 70, I am 71, she has run over 100 marathons and completed all of them in the last two decades, She only started running at the age of 50, as a way to keep in shape, but soon realized it was her passion. She ran her first marathon in 2004 and hasn’t stopped since, racking over 100 completed marathons under her belt. From 2005 to 2017 she completed the annual Beijing Marathon thirteen times, and this year she set a new record, becoming the oldest person to ever complete the 168-kilometer Liaoning marathon, within some 40 hours,

“This lady is the same age as my grandmother, how can she run so fast? That’s amazing,” a runner in their twenties said after seeing Wang compete in the Liaoning marathon in April. This was Super Grannie’s second time competing in the race. The previous year, she decided to register for the 110 km version of the marathon, and run alongside her best friend. She reportedly waited for her friend to catch up for about 5-6 hours so they could cross the finish line together, but this year she entered the marathon by herself, and chose the longest distance possible,

according to Chinese news agency Sina, Wang Lang runs at least 20 kilometres six days a week, and on Sunday she runs some more alongside the members of her long-distance running club. She prefers running on mountain roads in her native Liaoning, but in winter, when the weather doesn’t allow it, she runs on asphalt roads, “On average, every year, she runs for 7 months in the mountains and 5 months on the road,” Sina reportsWang is also a fan of mountaineering, and participated in the Taishan International Mountaineering Festival, where she managed to rank 27th out of thousands of participants, remarkably, Wang Guilan has suffered almost no injuries to her knees or ankles over the years, which she attributes to her harsh childhood, which hardened both her body and her spirit, what an amazing athlete she truly is.
