Buster Martin
A 101-year-old man has his sights on the London Marathon in a bid to become the world's oldest competitive runner.
Working plumber Buster Martin ran Sunday's Roding Valley half marathon in Essex in five hours 13 minutes, and is now focusing on London's 26-mile event.
Mr Martin's trainer is marathon enthusiast Harmander Singh, who helped Fauja Singh, 96, break the London marathon record for the over-90s.

Joy Johnson
Johnson, 81, of San Jose, Calif., competed in her 21st consecutive New York City Marathon, and just missed her goal of running in less than six hours.
She took almost seven hours last year. So she decided to train a little bit harder and she succeeded. Imagine succeeding in improving at the age of 81.
She took up running at a late age of 58. She was a gym teacher at that time.
Three years later, she finished her first New York City Marathon in 4:22. After another three years of training, she finished in 3:55.

The lesson
Don't think that you are old and you have to be weak. You can be old but you can be strong.
