   Mumbai - Fauja Singh believed to be the world's oldest   
   marathon runner after running the London Marathon. 101-

   kilometer run in Mumbai Marathon on Sunday. (Photo: Kevin

   Fauja Singh's face is a filigree of wrinkles and his   
   unruly silver beard cascades down his neck, but he is   
   still sprightly and his eyes still twinkle. The world's   
   oldest marathoner is here for the 2016 Standard Chartered   
   Mumbai Marathon, which will be flagged off tomorrow   
   morning. Singh, who was born in Beas Pind, Jalandhar, in   
   1911 and stays with his son Sukhinder in Ilford, near   
   London, ran his first marathon at the age of 89. Since   
   then, he has run the London Marathon (7 hours and 49   
   minutes) and completed eight other runs, including the   
   Toronto Waterfront Marathon.   
      
   In 2004, he featured in an ad campaign for Adidas   
   alongside David Beckham. The advertisement featuring him   
   had the following tagline: 6:54 at age 89. 5:40 at age   
   92. The Kenyans better watch out for him when he hits   
   100. Singh retired from competitive running after   
   completing the Hong Kong Marathon's 10-km race. But he   
   still walks a fair distance daily, and still remains a   
   poster boy for amateur marathoners across the world. We   
   spoke to him and his biographer Khushwant Singh on the   
   sidelines of a press event in Mumbai on his diet and the   
   bearing it has had on his fitness and longevity.   
      
   * I have always been a frugal eater. I turned vegetarian   
   some 30 years ago, and I believe it has helped me in many   
   ways.
