However Steve will on 1st Jan 2016 become UMCA 40/49 year old record holder - whether he does any more miles this year or not.
I really hope for Steve to break the record and of course it is still possible, though now I expect he'll be relying not only on his immense strength of mind and body, but also on favourable climactic conditions also.
That said, there is only one record to break and that is Tommy Godwins, any other age related records are simply statistics, of interest, but not "The Record". In fact we have no idea who holds the "best" in their 40s as it has never been felt worthwhile to record.
Let's cheer Steve on to "The Record".
GO STEVE GO..
