Man, 101, to run London Marathon

Too old to run?

Well a 101-year-old man has his sights on the London Marathon in a bid to become the world's oldest competitive runner. The current record is a 93-year-old.

Still working as plumber, Buster Martin recently ran the Roding Valley half marathon in Essex in five hours 13 minutes, and is now focusing on London's 26-mile event.
