Retired doctor, 93-year-old Canio Polosa was hoping to finish Saturday’s 10K race in London, Ont., in an hour and 20 minutes. He’d been training all winter and had already secured a 5K Canadian Masters Athletics record last fall.
Turns out Polosa is even faster than he thought. He finished the Springbank Sprint 10K in 1:14:04.
How does he do it?
“I just keep working, doing something that I think helps,” said a soft-spoken Polosa at the end of the race.
1:14:04! Canio Polosa sets 3 Canadian Masters records in the 90-95 age bracket. The 10K, 8K and the 5 mile.
