Fauja Singh: The 100-year-old Briton is the world's oldest marathon runner.
Born in India in 1911, Mr Singh was a farmer in the Punjab but moved to Britain in the 1960s.
Mr Singh say’s the secret to his stamina and endurance is down to ginger curry, tea and "being happy."
He holds the world record for the over-90 category after running the 2003 Toronto marathon in five hours and 40 minutes. His latest feat earns him another spot in Guinness World Records.
In 2011 he broke another eight records for 100-year-old men by completing all eight distances ranging from 100m to 5,000m.
Giving me running tips Mr Singh said: "The secret to a long and healthy life is to smile, be grateful for all that you have, stay away from negative individuals and stress. Don't forget to keep running too.
