The 99-Year-Old Man Breaking Running World Records

Video Description

At 99 years old, Orville Rogers was still running—and still setting records. After reading Aerobics by Dr. Kenneth Cooper nearly 50 years earlier, Orville laced up his shoes and never stopped. Since then, he’s run more than 42,000 miles, competed in track events well into his 90s, and became one of the oldest runners in the world to set multiple age-group world records. Orville is believed to be the oldest man to run a 10-minute mile after age 90 and a 15-minute mile after age 95, achievements that place him among the most remarkable examples of longevity and fitness at any age. Training at the Cooper Center in Dallas, he proves that growing older doesn’t mean slowing down—it means adapting and staying disciplined. In this Texas Country Reporter story, Orville shares why he kept running into his late 90s, how he approaches life and faith, and why he believes people don’t stop running because they get old—they get old because they stop running. Whether you’re curious about running after 90, inspired by stories of 100-year-old athletes, or simply wondering what’s possible later in life, Orville Rogers’ journey is proof that movement, purpose, and challenge don’t have an expiration date. #TexasCountryReporter #OrvilleRogers #99YearsOld #OldManRunning #OldestRunner #RunningAfter90 #FitnessAtAnyAge #Longevity #WorldRecords #HealthyAging Orville Rogers and Dr. Kenneth Cooper Dallas, TX Book: https://www.amazon.com/Running-Man-Flying-High-Glory/dp/1942557906 Tik Tok ► https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMR7EpeVw/ Facebook ► https://www.facebook.com/TexasCountryReporter Twitter ► https://twitter.com/TCRbob Instagram ► https://www.instagram.com/texascountryreporter TCR #1548, 04-29-17
