Advice from the world's oldest marathoner on eating well and living long
Advice from the world's oldest marathoner on eating well
and living long Fauja Singh, 104, on greed, pinni and McDonald's milkshakes. Written by Murali K. Menon The Indian Express indianexpress.com January 16, 2016 Mumbai - Fauja Singh believed to be the world's oldest marathon runner after running the London Marathon. 101- year-old Singh will take part in the Senior citizen 4.5 kilometer run in Mumbai Marathon on Sunday. (Photo: Kevin D'Souza) Fauja Singh's face is a filigree of wrinkles and his unruly silver beard cascades down his neck, but he is still sprightly and his eyes still twinkle. The world's oldest marathoner is here for the 2016 Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon, which will be flagged off tomorrow morning. Singh, who was born in Beas Pind, Jalandhar, in 1911 and stays with his son Sukhinder in Ilford, near London, ran his first marathon at the age of 89. Since then, he has run the London Marathon (7 hours and 49 minutes) and completed eight other runs, including the Toronto Waterfront Marathon. In 2004, he featured in an ad campaign for Adidas alongside David Beckham. The advertisement featuring him had the following tagline: 6:54 at age 89. 5:40 at age 92. The Kenyans better watch out for him when he hits 100. Singh retired from competitive running after completing the Hong Kong Marathon's 10-km race. But he still walks a fair distance daily, and still remains a poster boy for amateur marathoners across the world. We spoke to him and his biographer Khushwant Singh on the sidelines of a press event in Mumbai on his diet and the bearing it has had on his fitness and longevity. * I have always been a frugal eater. I turned vegetarian some 30 years ago, and I believe it has helped me in many ways.
