The study found that between age 40 and 70, runners slowed by a linear rate of about one percent each year. When runners reached their late 70s, they began to decline by about 1.5 percent, and between 90 and 95, that rate accelerated to two to three percent decline.
“Even at age 90, people are only a little more than twice as slow as they were in their peak years,” Fair said.Fair, who’s now 78, was an avid marathoner in his middle age. At age 45, he ran his personal best time of 2:58:45 in Philadelphia. Then at 53, he ran a 3:10:00 in Hartford, Connecticut. While the latter time was slower, it was actually a. If Fair traced a linear slope back from his time at 53, he should have hypothetically run a 2:58:19—26 seconds faster than his best—when he was 45.
