Japan’s Mariko Yugeta, 61, is the first woman to run sub 3 hour marathon for her age group clocking 2:59:15

61-year-old Japanese Mariko Yugeta  from Saitama achieved the first sub-three hour marathon in the world for women runners 60 years old and older. 

She clocked 2 hours 59 minutes 15 seconds at the Shimonoseki Kaikyo Marathon  held on November 3. The previous world record was 3 hours 2 minutes 50 seconds for women over the age of 60.

When reporters visited the fastest queen's house, she was challenging the time trial of the active high school athletic club.

Yugeta said her daily routine includes 3 minutes standing on an inclined board every morning while brushing her teeth, and that she believes she can run 2:57.

This was her 99th marathon.
