I see a Great future for this young man.
He could go to the olympics some day!
Some people peak later than others. Let’s just give him some more time to improve
@@normcmiller yeah those people are unique!
his best years are still ahead. This wife must be a happy woman
Yes give him 10 more years to mature and he'll be as quick as The Flash
Being able to run at 70 is impressive itself he probably faster than bunch of young people especially they don't do sports
Most young people can't break 15s
@@johnjay6370 many can many can't but I have trouble breaking 15 back to back 4 times
@@jakemccoy no that was his Runner number.
Oh really, I'm 73 and run wind sprints for fun and could easily have gotten top three in that race and I was a pole vaulter not a sprinter but ya' I'm fast.
He runs faster than 98% of the people on earth.
I'm 67 this year, I know what my goal is now! These guys (all of them) put a great big smile on my face!
Get out there! You're just a youngster compared to all of these guys!
@@randomvintagefilm273 Till your hip goes
Well, I'm old, but much younger. My goal is to watch guys like these run, whilst watching them in record time 😁.
Makes me wish I didn't destroy one of my knees.
Mike Mosley in the early 80's was the fastest guy i ever saw...ran the 40 in 3.9. He went from Humble High school in Texas to Buffalo NY Bills to play in the pros as a wide receiver. Got his knees clipped on one play and was done.
@@DespaceMan
If you do some research to see that there’s actually many seniors who are very active including lifting weights. And there’s younger people who get hip replacements. If it’s a well done hip replacement it should last you 15 to 20 years and increase your mobility.
Thats my dream. To be that mobile and physically fit at 70. Retired, all the time in the world to explore the world and physically well to enjoy it all! Well done lad great running!!
Yeah, right? grandpa moving like a teenager, dafuq?
Don't work a manual labor job then...
@@williampowell2104 - Haha. Very very true.
@@sofarsogod - I know. People dont appreciate how unbelievable that is.
It's extremely impressive, but I heard that it took him 2 weeks to recover from that
Damn, a better block start than Joseph Fahnbulleh.
😂
Hahaha
LMAO nooooo, don’t do Joe Fahn like that!
Foul asf💀
🤣😂underrated comment
i was there today racing and i also saw him & the other amazing older people! true athletes to be able to achieve these times at these ages!
Very true, it all depends on our diets eating healthy and exercising I can relate to this story welcome to the Golden Age 👏😊😊🙏.
Are you saying he inherited from a long generation of excellent genes?????
You an athlete?
It's also a mind set. If you believe, you can do anything
@Dev Guy i can feel your heavy , distorted breathing from reading this comment. Eat a salad, touch some grass and you will also be at least walking in your 70s .
This needs to become a much bigger thing!!
Aged runners!!! And making legit records for their age group. And winning serious prizes
I agree, it's actually much more interesting seeing what people can do for their age imo
I'm almost 70 and still outrun anyone, I am for your idea.
@@GEOsustainable 🧢
True...
Agreed, masters sports should become more popular. Hopefully will also get more older people into sports and make them healthier.
That's about the most impressive thing I've seen in years. I'm 56, and wouldn't dare to run at full speed for fear of immediate injury.
I’m in my 50s and husb is 70 amd he very active incl now baseball 3x week. Our 90 yo friend walks everywhere and 80 yo friend walk, bike rides etc. Fear is more debilitating then taking a chance on trying. Our bodies are naturally designed to move and be challenged. Find ways you feel safe to get out there. Many amazing stories on YT. ✨❤️✌️🌎
@@jmc8076 I actually do intense forest walks about 4 times a week. Running at full speed is another matter though!
@@SidLaw500 man up
@@SidLaw500 don’t listen to them obviously you’re hesitant to go full speed now and rightfully so but if you condition your body and take the necessary and proper steps you can run full speed relatively safely
For the record, I consider myself to be in great shape: I go on long forest hikes 4/5 times a week, I eat well, and lift some heavy equipment twice a week. My endurance and strength are excellent. I simply have no interest in running full speed, or developing the capacity to do so. I know that sprinting is another level of fitness that I don't aspire to--I'm just impressed and humbled by people who do.
Congratulations sir! It's so encouraging to see all the competitors who commit to fitness after 50.
There are many who today think that they are physically "done" at age 40. They need to look at this video.
Bro, chill with the 50 stuff…..im not old! Lol
@@cperry7267ANBFPro Too many people disregard the genetic factor...
Just because this man has the ability and mobility to compete like this at 70+, doesn't mean EVERYONE can.
Can we just call him what he is?
EXCEPTIONAL!
50 is not too far gone yet. At 54 started entering sprint tri’s. After a couple years I went back to work. Now I plan to quit so I can get outside again before I croak.
There is no going back.
Exercise and competition doesn't haven't to stop in your teens or 20s...Exercise should be fun and treated as play for any age. Exercise is medicine.
Sooooo impressive and motivational, and he started his running at 40 🤣Most athletes have retired by then 🏃🏃♂🏃♀
maybe that is why his joints still look to be well oiled !
This race has motivated me…to watch more track videos. 😇
The winner is running faster than 90% of 30 year olds could!
98% of 30 & 20 year olds...
@@bringingclaritytoconfusion3605 Good point!
You are sure generous to the general population
Nu fucking way 10% of 30 year olds beat this time. Maybe 10% of guys that are in shape.
@@donrane He said 90% that leaves the 10% you are talking about. What are you disagreeing with 🤦♂️
So proud of all of these amazing "young" men!!!!
That's amazing so good to see these older men living their life and doing what they love at a high level. Like they say age is just a number. 🙏😀
There’s guys in my infantry platoon that can’t do this at 19, that’s pretty damn impressive.
I turn 53 tomorrow and...I'm headed to physical therapy for a hamstring tare after watching that 🤣🤣🤣
HA!!
52 here, I'm looking for my man parts on the track after I did that.😆😆
With prayers for a speedy recovery. Eat healthy and exercise daily.🙏😊👍
tear
Dead 🤣🤣🤣🤣
70 and he looks like a young man running .. this guy has truly kept himself up .. you know he can still stroke it .. his wife probably has no complaints lol
He obviously does not have any knee issues which is fabulous!
his form is pretty exquisite
Trust me, if his wife is the same age, she has a lot of complaints lol, complaining is what women do xD
@Gene Connor I thought the same thing at first but that's apparently his BIB number not the ages of the contesters 😀
Ahh he's 82(In the over 70 age group)
These videos are some of my favourites on CZcams. They have the power to change the world and truly inspire.
His start and drive phase was superb. High knees, good turnover. WOW.
At 70 years of age his leg turn over is impressive 👏🏿
but it didn't go as high, he shortened his steps and didn't have the length. He relied on frequency.
Ahh he's 82(In the over 70 age group)
The dude that came second had a faster leg turn over. This dude was taller and his stride was longer.
@@booch326 that's fuckin insane
@@booch326 Those aren't their ages, those are their jersey numbers. No way there is a 90 year old in that race.
This is the kind of stuff that motivates me to continue this great sport. Always loved running fast, but was never encouraged as I wasn't considered gifted. I started sprinting at 33 and have only gotten faster. Don't let genetics or age discourage you, sprint! You might not break records, but I guarantee you'll get faster.
I like your attitude!
the spirit we all need!
Assuming you don't get plantar fasciitis. I'm pretty light weight, and as an amateur/hobbyist runner of average ability (and the accompanying low mileage training), I never had any real physical problems until recently. Now I'm a 51-year-old trying to maintain a solid running routine, but heel pain keeps undermining my plans.
(Edit: sorry to be a downer ☹️).
I started at the age 44 with sprinting, ok more like faster jogging but short distances as fast as i could and still can 2 years later. Running wise i did not make that much progress but i feel much much better and stronger than all the time in my 30s+.
And the nice part is it takes only some Minutes each time if you do it the HIIT way.
@@TheMICMusicInspirationChannel That must suck. Maybe swimming would be something for you instead you could try for the plantar fasciitis problem.
He has what good runners have, really great mechanics.
That was impressive as hell! There are a LOT of 20 and 30 year olds that could not put down that time!
Michael Kish is a well known and respected master's athlete, it takes a lot of dedication and determination to run like this, it's a 24/7 job year round.
HOW old is he? The 82 in that chart is his bib number. What is his age? Thanks
Damn that grandad was really moving, that’s some serious genetics right there
Like benjamin movie. Ages backwards.
Genetics... Or hard work; let's not discredit the work being done behind the scenes.
It's not just genetics. It's eating right. No smoking ever. Or not much drinking either.
@@yvonneplant9434 well not knowing the man personally I have no idea if any of that is true or not, of course hard work plays a part that’s quite obvious, but genetics plays a massive part, he’s basically in the 0.1 % for his age, that’s more than just hard work that’s god given talent
@@JC-te6gx who discredited anything? Lol, and it’s not genetics “or” hard work pal it’s genetics and hard work
I work for a moving company and the most needed mover is in his early 70s. Not only is he by far the oldest but also the only mover that drives big rigs. He moves better and faster than most youngsters. He can sometimes be too professional, though. Asking twice about unpacking after a long, difficult move is terrifying for most coworkers.
That’s awesome & hilarious, he’s one of those guys asking the customer questions making more work for the team. The worst 😅
Hahaha I worked as a removalists for years. I know everything your talking about, had a same guy in our squad who was late 50s and like a Pitbull.
Seriously though ... I want to see more of these competitions. To see these guys running like this. Is incredible.
That's Flying At 70yrs Old 👌🏿!!!
Ahh he's 82(In the over 70 age group)
@@booch326 I was initially confused by those ""80's" numbers on the scoreboard too. I looked him up, he was born 1952 so was 70 years old.
@@peterschmidt1453 Just turned it myself!
Sheeesh, he was moving
Wow. The fastest I've ever run a 100m is probably high 14? Maybe a 15. And that's when I was in pretty good shape and running regularly. Not for competition or anything, just general fitness. At 70? That's incredible.
He got me hyped… not that he ran the race… his energy and performance… I’m 44yr… rewriting my perception of how 70 yr olds be getting it in
13.47 secs for 100m sprint is very impressive for a 70yo. Deserves a lot of respect!
way more than impressive, thats only 4 seconds slower than usain bolt. kinda scary
what a backhanded compliment
@@faustopacheco120 bro really getting offended over a compliment. What was backhanded? It is very impressive for a 70 year old, but not very impressive in general for anyone of any age as the average teenager/young adult (maybe not in america) runs this
@@thebirdfromtwitter1249 considering 70% of americans are either obese or overweight it's impressive in general
Impressive for any non-athlete of any age.
That's seriously impressive. I'm 23 years younger and would totally look foolish running against this guy
Sad
Hats off to all of them for their spirit of competition.
All the gentleman who participated are winners. You have people half their ages who can't keep up with them. Great job guys, keep up the good work 👍
I love how we’re seeing more masters races.
I appreciate how this gets more views then the regular videos shows much people care for track
What an absolute bunch of legends!! All of them!!
Extremely impressive and an inspiration to all, young and old alike! Congratulations, Mr. Kish!
Congrats to them all! Amazing!
OMG I love this this!!!
This is incredible😲
First time I've ever seen this!
I never knew they had a men's 70 and over 100m race at an official track Meet. One of the reasons he was so ahead is because he was the only one to implement the correct biomechanical sprint technique. Most people dont realize that sprinting must be done with a different technique than running.
Most younger people don’t know that you can’t just make your body do anything you want after a certain age
@@M_SC True.
Amazing for all of these men for entering this race! 👏 I applaud all of them.
Can you imagine your grandpa running you down?? Haha. That’s amazing. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Now thats impressive!🔥
All of those men earn my respect….just amazing to see them still running with zest at this age…..let it be known age is no barrier when the heart mind and body are in tune with each other….
Even the last placed gentlemen freaked me out and he was 90……incredible!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😉😉😉
This is what I strive to be doing when I’m this AGE!! 🔥💯
This is truly motivational. thank you
Unbelievable I was running that time when I was 14 that's why I started running the 200m and 400m lol he is in great shape for his age hats off
Were you better at the 200m and 400m?I'm considering switching distances...
@@student2798 I know you didn’t ask me but I prefer the 400. It’s easier if you don’t have that top end speed or a great start. The 400 is basically just a sprint the whole way. My fastest 400 time is 56 seconds and my fastest 200 is 24.9 and I’m a sophomore in high school, but even those times won’t really get you anywhere
Same. Much preferred longer distances though. 14.52 was my PB for 5km (funnily enough that was after a swim in a triathlon)
He's in great shape for any age
@@admilz if you’re a girl running these times, it will get you somewhere.
CONGRATULATIONS SIR.
Very inspiring, well done young men.
LIFE GOALS!!!! Always strive to be more. So impressive.
He ran like he was alone in the race. At that age a d still time like that. Simply Amazing.
he ostensibly was alone, lol
Great technique!
Yes, he runs like Usain Bolt.
Damn, just seeing them around the blocks, I wouldn't have thought any of them being in their 70's. Well done to them all and the winner had a damn good running form right from the start.
This man is awesome and a great inspiration. The video itself reminds me of my participation in 1966. I almost forgot this - so long ago. I anchored our 4x 200.
Phenomenal!!! This is awesome and motivation to anyone getting older. As long as you continue to exercise, u can still do alot of stuff in your old age. Only exception is if you went real hard in your early yrs like sports fighting etc that can make it difficult to do physical activities later in life but if your only excuse is " I'm old" and u siting on the couch all day eating bon bons that's terrible. Get up and move shit go for a walk something but get up!!!!!
"never slow down, never grow old"
Wow. 90 years old and under 20s . Amazing!! These guys are all terrific. the one guy had issues with his knee but he is still damn fast.
Hats off to all these fellas, really good to see
Proud of u fellas 🤗🤗
All of them are amazing!
WOW. Not only does he run as fast as a super hero, but he looks beautiful doing it.. perfection like a Leonardo sculpture.
That's great. I ran Penn in high school when we too in the nation but man, hope I can do that when I'm 70.
Ahh he's 82(In the over 70 age group)
These guys are in incredible shape! 🔥🔥
@Serge Jerome Jr. Use it or lose it!
Great job sir! Bet your family is proud!!
Wow absolutely smashing it Michael Kitch
How Fast was this guy in his Younger Years? Great Race Sir.
right? 😳
probably an undiscovered talent; the world has many of them...
@@-BigIi- That's actually quite a deep point you made. An undiscovered musician may never get to write the greatest song of all time. An artist with untapped potential that never put a brush to an easel. A scientist that never pursued his innovations and instead settled for a simple run-of-the-mill job. It makes me quite sad thinking about it.
@@lifeisasimulation1671 Think of how many inventors, musicians, writers, philosophers, athletes, scientists have been sent to meaningless death in human's wars. May we study government and diplomacy, and ensure peace so our children have the stability to study mathematics, science, and engineering so that their children may have the pleasure to study sports, art, writing and music.
thats me paraphrasing a quote from same famous US president or something
Wow! Amazing!
His form is incredible not just for 70
But incredible for any age.
GOD BLESS 🇺🇸
These guys are my heros man
😍 love this⚡ go granpa!🚀
Kish is 82 years old!!!!
This is so inspiring!!
90 years old and 19.03 sec for 100 m, bruh... That's unbelievable. Some of teens can not run that fast, I mean seriously...
but 13.47 at 82 years old?! I can not compare it to anything, respect, respect and one more time respect.
I wish you all health!
no, he's not 82 years old. That is his jersey number. I thought the same thing at first lol.
they're all 70 year olds
Title says 70 years old, but it said he was 82 in the video?
82 is his bib number, not his age.
He’s 71. In 2018 when he was 68, he ran a 12.75 to get Silver in the over 65 category in the World Championships.
I want to be like him when I grow old. 👏👏👏👏
Can you imagine?...82 yrs old running 13.47...amazing
They say that we're living longer than ever and that just proved it !!! Respect
I ran a 10.7 in high school. At 54 id just pull a hamstring beating them in the first meter and fall in agony. This is awesome to watch and inspiring.
If you ran a 10.7 in high school you would be offered college scholarships, yet nothing pops up when I google your name. I smell bullshit.
I feel the same, but Im in my 30´s I was fast af when I was a teenager but now I cant run for shit xD
Yip, I ran a 10.1 in high school in the 70's. And a 4.1 40. Can't run a 10.1 anymore because I smoked for years, but on a 40, I still do a 5.1 to 5.5 before I start choking.
@@KB-ke3fi wow! a 10.1 in high school huh? you guys must be suffering from memory loss. XD
@@KB-ke3fi wow! That’s incredible! Where did you run? What school? That would have been a National record.
He's had over 50 years of training of course he's fast
No, no that’s not how that works lmao
🤣
Starting running competitively at age 59, apparently. So no....just 11 years of training. And the decay in times begins at around 30 years old, so he's had 40 years to slow down.
@@sundromos9456 it's a joke my friend
Lol
Brilliant run young man keep going only stay young by keeping it up .
They are all amazing wow
Unreal!
He looked like he was running from the IRS
Simply amazing!!!
I love this! Very inspiring
Dude he’s fast
Mr. Kish was a blur! Congratulations young man!
Amazing indeed!
Shows what can be done.
This is so spectacular!!!💪🏽❗️

Go Shore AC... my former track club!!
That was incredible! We all can only hope to be in as great a shape as that man at his age. Love to see it! 💪
No “hope”, it’s called a righteous active lifestyle and nutrient dense way of eating, that simple.
mad respect for these people.
💪💪🥶Damn!
I love how the medics are bringing the stretcher out to the track before the race even began
This is amazing to watch and I love it!
WOW, Great Job! All these guys are great and they look good too.
They said it was 70 or over, and the winner was 70, but the numbers next to their names in the graphic had all the runners in their 80s and even 90. Is that correct?
Those are shirt numbers, not their age.
@@thuyaaung6139 Why do you bother answering with the wrong information? Just look at the end of the race. Those are definitely not their shirt numbers. So whatever . . .
@@stonew1927 it’s their shirt numbers bro, look closely
@@omariwood4259 No it isn't. Not unless you want to interpret the letters F or T as 8. I think the graphic is wrong. You look closely at the bibs at the end of the race. Those are clearly not 8s in front of the other numbers.
