Germany’s Guido Muller reveals his secret to running success, moments after smashing the M70 400 meters World Record at the WMA Masters Track & Field World Championships in Lahti, Finland.
Surprised by his answer? I am and I’m not.
Surprised that it’s so blunt. Â Not surprised because life is like this – pretty obvious.

Lane 8 – The Results. Â Folks want to know, “How’d ya do at the WMA Masters World Championships in Lahti, Finland”?
I did really, really well. Â Superfantastic actually. Â Beyond what I thought was possible this year.
However, I must start with the top line results:
BMI, Triglycerides, Cholesterol, and Blood Pressure – the big four.
All have been tracking at very good to excellent levels.
Do you know your big four?
I never used to, but the health experts say these are the top, overall health metrics we should discuss with our personal physicians.
Not long ago, I decided to get a handle on what these mean and why they are important.
How’s your handle on your big four?

PS. Â Guido Muller, in the photo, set the M70 400 meters World Record, just minutes before the photo was taken. Â His achievement has been compared to the equivalent of Roger Bannister breaking the 4-minute mile barrier back in 1954.
