doctor leena rasmussen led the research and spoke to the bbc earlier. we measured it in three ways. measured the average speed at which people are walking, the normal pace. and we measured the maximum speed without running and we measured a dual—task gait speed, meaning people had to recite alternating letters of the alphabet while walking. and each of these three measures are equally associated with accelerating ageing measures we have been investigating. we found in this study that people among the as—year—olds that we studied that the ones... the 20% slowest walkers had multiple signs of accelerated ageing, compared to the fastest walkers in the study. there is definitely differences, and also across age and stuff but if you look at a population where everybody is the same age, you'll see that the ones who are slower, they will probably have the fastest ageing within that group. but there is obviously differences across age groups as well. the kenyan athlete eliud kipchoge has become the first person to run a marathon in under two hours. the 34—year—old covered the 26.2 mile cour
