A lot of the masters athletes are in fantastic shape. I’m sure in better shape than the girl writing the article! I know cause I’ve worked with some of them. In fact, people are interested in why some people make it to 100 whether they do anything or not.
If she doesn’t like it, that’s fine, but the masters athletes themselves really don’t give a shit whether she does or not.
The masters are self funded so they take nothing away from the young guys and often help.
One of the guys I work with helped lots of people in track, providing scholarship funding for WR holder Mike Powell when he was at his first college and opening his house in California for training camps - including for Daley Thompson I might add.
