BAMF of the Day: With a finish time of eight hours and 25 minutes, 100-year-old Indian-born Brit Fauja Singh completed yesterday’s Toronto Waterfront marathon to become the oldest person ever to run a full marathon.

Singh was nearly forced to quit at the 35 kilometer mark, but pushed through the pain, and eventually bested his own personal goal. 

More remarkable still, Singh took up running only 20 years ago, and has been running some 16 kilometers every day since.

I guess it’s true what they say: You’re only as old as you run.

Watch Singh cross the finish line below:

This is so fucking awesome.
