It's never too late: teacher turns full-time marathoner at 35
Posted by simon on 5/19/2007 on simon's blog

"What if?" That's the question Trisha Steidl didn't want her husband to be facing aged 70. Seeing him finish 12th in windswept Boston in 2:15.54 running against elite professional runners seems to have been the final straw. So she's encouraged him to take a big step. From now on science teacher Uli Steidl is going full-time: aged 35.
Full inspiring story and details of his training regime is on the Seattle PI website here.

* In November last year the Steidls pulled off a unique double; Uli won the Seattle marathon for the eighth consecutive time, and Trisha won the women's event -- for the first time.
