How Daphne Sluys, a 55-year old math professor and masters track standout, became a world champion
Daphne Sluys took up track and field as an adult, and always has been strong. But in 2015 she changed her workout approach and became a masters world champion sprinter. My story about her for ESPNW: http://espn.go.com/espnw/athletes-life/article/14572017/how-55-year-old-sprinter-daphne-sluys-became-world-champion

Why is it among Masters women 400m elite that they are not proportionally as fast as men? For example, world class men run 44, women 50. Women about 13% slower. World class M55 men run 55, and women run only 67... women 22% slower. Why? I don;'t think women masters train as hard as men and for an event like the 400m, their pain threshold is not as high. Just a theory.
