Masters Track & Field

Masters Track & Field.

I thank God that there are people who organize Track & Field meets and running events.

Why?

Because it gives adults 30 to 100 years old several reasons to be active:

  1. It’s organized
  2. You can pick your level of competitiveness, or not
  3. It’s local and global
  4. There’s passion for health, wellness & well-being
  5. It’s done in age groups to make it “fair”
  6. It provides a reason, or purpose, to get and stay active
  7. It attracts diverse group of like-minded people
  8. It provides wide variety of options: sprints, distance and field
  9. Running or walking is what the human body was made to do
  10. It showcases that anything is possible, for anyone – shares hope

This isn’t for everyone.  Find your unique way to get and stay active. Masters Track & Field is just one option.

World Ranking?

World Ranking?

Thanks to all who have supported and prayed for great results at Lane 8.

Have been trying to figure out the best way to share the Masters World Championships results.

In general, society, conditioned by the media, has a warped view of success.

When was the most recent time you thought about the last place finisher in an Olympic finals?

Okay, so they were last.  And yet, they were the eighth best in the world.

Ya with me?  Number 8.  In the world.

Not many pause long enough in this busy world to contemplate the greatness of last place.  Do you?

Stay tuned.  And thanks again for your faithful following.  Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂

Lane 8 Vision-jeff noel story

Lane 8 Vision – jeff noel’s personal story.

The video says it all.  It’s longer than normal, on purpose.

More to come. Do you have a vision? Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂

Lane 8 Vision

Lane 8 Vision.  What’s the vision for Lane 8?  I’ve shared it over and over with people, one at a time.

It hit me.  Record a Lane 8 You Tube video and post it as a PAGE for first time visitors to Lane 8.

This is the first of several jeff noel midlife You Tube videos, sharing the vision for Lane 8.

Now, hopefully, you have a clearer picture.  But this is only the beginning.  Stay tuned.

As soon as I can, I’ll post the followup to this one.

Carpe diem, jeff noel  🙂

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:
