71 Years Man U Co-owner Ran London Marathon At 4:30 Min by Tendd: 9:16pm On Apr 27
Jim Radcliffe,Man U co-owner ran an impressive race at the London Marathon 2024.
At his age,71,he finished the race at 4:30 Min.Another wonderful performance was from a 71 year old woman, Jeannie Rice who ran at 3:33 Min, breaking her previous record.Sadly,it was another low turnout by Nigerians.Nigerians are one of largest immigrant group in the UK with over a million residing there.Only 19 persons took part in the race with the oldest, being Adeyanju Queen,within the 50-54 year category.

Nigerians dont run London marathon because they have better things to do with their lives abroad...

Ha,ha.lt only exposes the laziness and inactive lifestyle of a people or group.lt's a clear pointer to why obesity is high and Life expectancy is low among Nigerians in diaspora.I guess the more than 50.000 people from different nationality,backgrounds,academia, work lives that participated in the race had nothing better to do with their lives, really??

bro, the reality of life is that, if a Nigerian didnt run Lagos marathon, then chances are that when that person arrives in London, he wont run the London marathon. running a marathon is a way of life, that many do not have. a healthy lifestyle that many Nigerian do not possess thanks to highly greasy and unhealthy Nigerian food.

if you carefully look at the foreigners who ran the London marathon, you will be surprised to see that there was probably less Indians/Pakistanis than Nigerians (even though there are more Indians/Pakistanis in London than Nigerians)

You are probably right about a lifestyle from home but
anyone can begin or change a lifestyle even at old age for a better health.Some never had a gym but now go to train their body.

I had to check on the number of India, and Pakistanis that ran the race.314 lndians took part while 30 Pakistanis also did.l further checked on South Africans too.322 did participate.l also checked last year 2023 to observe why and Nigeria wasn't close to the number of these countries and others that l randomly looked despite the huge Nigeria presence in the UK.

If you like to know the results and various nationalities, you can google on Tcs London marathon, go to the page,click on the bar on the right,then results,then advanced search,then nations and click on any country you interested in.

running a full marathon is no small feat... it requires a lengthy preparation. going to the gym is one thing, running a marathon or a triathlon is just a different ballgame entirely. i admire these people for pushing their body to the limit but its definitely not for everyone.

sometimes, going to the gym is just to stay fit, and not to really compete at such level (like running a marathon).
