With no less than 102 years, the American Julia Hawkins has a world record in its age group in the race: 100 meters in 39,62 seconds, conquered in the National Olympic Games of Birmingham, Alabama, that happened in June of 2016. Despite of this conquest and of some others, Julia has been running for some time. "I knew I could run because I'm always taking care of the yard, and when the phone rings, I go in quickly to answer," she says. she said in an interview with the American magazine Runner's World. Cute! Here are some of her tips to get into the race:

Have people who encourage you

Hawkins credits his four children - ages 64 and 71 - with the moral support they get to stay in the sport. In addition, she has a little help at the end of her workouts. "I always need someone to pick me up at the end of the races, because I'm out of breath and exhausted," he explains.

Build realistic expectations

"At this age, you do not get better at what you're doing. a little worse, "she jokes, who does not train much for her races, but keeps busy tending the backyard of the house she and her late husband built in 1949." I run around a little around the house every day, but without to have a certain distance or time, just to keep everything and day. "

Find a amulet

Shortly before his Birmingham run, Hawkins opened a fortune cookie that said," You will have a sudden growth in life". "I thought, well, I'm going to this race ... If I win or I do well, maybe that's what the ticket is talking about. That incentive gave me an advantage," she recalls. Since then, she has kept that role and often runs with it to get lucky.
