This study examined the age-related decline in endurance running performance of one of the greatest master runners ever, Ed Whitlock, who died recently. His running performances from 1500 m to marathon were analyzed for 5 periods of 5 years from 65-69 years to 85-89 years. Despite exceptional running performances for his advanced age, the rate of decline in his performances increased after 80 years and was drastically amplified after 85 years.
本研究考察了史上最伟大长跑运动员之一、最近去世的埃德·惠特洛克（Ed Whitlock）在耐力跑方面随年龄增长而出现的衰退。对他从 65 岁至 69 岁到 85 岁至 89 岁这五个每五年为一个阶段的 1500 米至马拉松的跑步成绩进行了分析。尽管他年事已高，但仍有出色的跑步表现，但在 80 岁后，他的成绩下降速度加快，在 85 岁后则急剧放大。
