LeBourne claims M50 world indoor record for 800, U.S. for 1500
Word travels fast—and slow. We’ve just learned of two new American records by Anselm LeBourne, a world masters middle-distance champion. Saturday at the Boston University Terrier Invitational, Anselm broke the 2-minute barrier indoors at age 51, running 1:59.94 in Section 8. (See results here.) In late December, running near his home, he ran the 1500 at the New York Armory in 4:13.56. (See results here.) The listed M50 world indoor records is 1:59.99 by Steve Gallegos at Idaho nationals in 2005. The listed M50 American record is 4:13.98 by Bill Krohn in 2009. The listed WR for M50 is 4:09.98 by Frenchman Pierre Faucheur in 2006.

Ken, So was Andre Lafere’s 1.59.74 in Gent, Belgium in March 2010 never ratified? You reported it at the time as an M50 WR. Or has it been overlooked?
Weia Reinboud - February 1, 2011
Lafere’s is not (yet) approved as European record, maybe the paperwork is still hanging around.
Terry Ballou - February 1, 2011
Those are incredible times—I am in awe. Congrats, Anslem!!!
Nolan Shaheed - February 1, 2011
Congratulations Anselm.This is just the start on many for you.
Mark Cleary - February 1, 2011
Anselm way to go–it’s early, the WMA Champs in Sacramento should be awesome for you.
peter taylor - February 1, 2011
What a performance by Anselm. To put it into perspective, we have had quite a few heavyweights run in our M40 indoor 800 at nationals over the years, and I looked at their times. Remember, Anselm is 51.
2010 Nick Berra 1:56.26
2009 Neil Fitzgerald 2:00.93
2008 Steve Sergeant 2:02.07
2007 John Hinton 1:59.64
2006 Joseph Carnegie 1:56.17
Anselm’s time of 1:59.94 fits very well with the marks of those stalwarts. But again, Anselm is 51, and the times above are for our winners in M40. That tells me that Anselm is a superstar.
Who's your Daddy ? - February 1, 2011
Would Anselm consider loaning me one of his legs for New Mexico ?
Matt B. - February 1, 2011
Amazing! Very quick. The outdoor WR for 50-54 will fall most likely this year.
Legend.
Anselm- please share some training secrets.
Cornell - February 1, 2011
Keep up the great running Anselm, it is very motivating for this 48 year old!
Liz Palmer - February 1, 2011
Anyone notice that Anselm beat George Washington and Ben Franklin?
kevin f forde - February 2, 2011

Francis Burdett - February 2, 2011
Incredible, watched his race from the third turn… looked smooth and had a strong kick!
Terry Parks - February 2, 2011
Congratulation Anselm. I still hoping to break 2:00 at 47. The bar keeps getting raised by great performances like yours.
Who's your Daddy ? - February 2, 2011
Panama….let me know about a site once selected.
Bill Collins - February 3, 2011
Congratulation Anselm, You are having a great indoor season, and it’s not over yet, with outdoors coming it should be very exciting for you. A great runner, and a great person. The best always!

nice mark Anselm! I saw Steve G break 2:00 in Idaho in 2005 and that was impressive.
Stay healthy
Anselm - February 4, 2011
Folks, I want to thank you all for the positive comments. I know we can all motivate each other to continue running fast times. The quote that motivates me to continue running fast time is “Hard Works Beats Talent When Talent Does Not Work Hard.” Again, thanks to all of you for the wonderful words of encouragement and hoping to see you out there in Track land.
Francis Burdett - February 4, 2011
Watch Anselm’s four laps here…

Tom Hartshorne - February 7, 2011
Thanks for the link Francis. I too, saw Gallegos break the record years ago in Boise, Idaho and if my memory serves me well Steve ran the whole race on the inside lane from the front whereas Anselm had to work around the youngsters in the last two laps. Of course, having the youngsters there gives one a focus and incentive to embarras their young soles. Excellent Anselm! Having raced around the 2:00 mark so many times you probably knew you had that .05 to spare.
GEORGE S ROMANO - February 7, 2011
Anslim, you have always been training so hard,you motivate all of us who are in sports, so CONGRATUALATIONS
Learie J. Fraser - February 11, 2011
“Way-to-go” Anselm! I guess you really did mean it when you were singing “I believe I can fly.” Keep it going brother “I believe you can touch the sky.” Congratulations!! You keep everything so quiet!…
I certainly admire your genuine humility. May God continue to bless you and empower you to accomplish
greater things and all that he has purposed in your life.
