Alastair Dunlop dashes M55 world indoor record in 1500
In this report from across the Pond, we learn: “Stornoway’s Alastair Dunlop set a world masters indoor age 55 record of 4min 24.39sec in the 1,500 metres at the Scottish closed championships at the Kelvin Hall on Saturday (Jan. 17).” Alastair’s time beats the listed WMA world indoor record of 4:26.7 by California’s Nolan Shaheed at Boston nationals two years ago. Alastair was the M50 world champ at 15 in the San Sebastian world meet in 2005, so this is no surprise. On the Age-Graded Tables, 4:24.39 corresponds to an Open (ages 20-30) equivalent of 3:36.30. Not too shabby. Special thanks to UK masters photographer Tom Phillips, whose tip on this record helps us convey the big picture.
