Lane 8 World Record 400 Meters

Lane 8 world record at 400 meters being set as I video the men’s 70-74 age group.

Germany’s Guido Muller is the oldest man ever (repeat, ever) to run 400 meters under one minute.

It’s sort of like Roger Bannister breaking the four-minute mile barrier in 1954.

There is so much I have to share from the WMA Master’s World Championships.  Each day, you can expect more from the week-long trip to Lahti, Finland.

Watch him do it here in front of my very eyes two days ago:

Heading Back to USA

Thank you for visiting www.Lane8.org.

I’m completely exhausted and will try to finish Saturday’s post from the United States.   Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Meanwhile there are four other posts from today if you’d like to take a surf:

Race Day at Lane 8

Race day at Lane 8.

Men’s 400 meters, 50-54 age group.  Call time 2PM.  Heat time 3PM.

By the time my preliminary heat is over, most of you back in the United States will just be waking up.

I visualize myself running and feeling God’s pleasure.  Running effortlessly, not to compete, but running simply because I can.

I don’t know why I run sometimes, all I know is that I enjoy it, and cannot help myself.

There is a popular misconception that winning is everything.

May I antagonistically challenge that?

Winning isn’t everything, doing your best is everything.

Don’t sell yourself short.  Be as great as you can be.  Even if you finish last.  Even if you are not a runner.

Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂

Lane 8 in Lahti, Finland?

Lane 8 in Lahti, Finland?  Yes.  Arrived yesterday, August 2.

Was a zombie, but my adrenaline hide that from me.  Only two other times in my entire life I can remember being that tired.

But today is a brand new day.  A day full of excitement, of possibilities, of opportunities.

A day filled with hope.

Wouldn’t it be great if we could start everyday like it’s the World Championships?

A day where we feel anything is possible.

A day where we are more than willing to give it our best.

A day where we willingly get to help others, and others get to willingly help us.

Why is this not possible each and every day?

Maybe it is possible. Today, I’m going to work at a world championship level to find out.

What are your plans today?  Cape diem, jeff noel 🙂

Lane 8 in Paris?

Lane 8 in Paris?

Only for 90 minutes.

My first overseas flight to Helsinki through Paris.

I fly frequently, so I’m good with all the logistics.

Except at Charles DeGaulle Airport in Paris this morning.

Wow.  I barely made it.  So glad I didn’t give up this morning.

Miraculously, made it by five minutes.

Actually, not giving up is what got me here in the first place.

Carpe diem, and tempt yourself to never give up.  Because if you’re not tempted to not give up, what are tempted by?

jeff noel, out in Lane 8 🙂
