Overview

• Sir Rod Stewart, who turned 80 in January, is training to break the over-80 100m sprint record of 14.21 seconds held by Kenton Brown.
• He currently clocks 19 seconds for 100 metres and is refining arm placement, heel lift and starting-line push-offs to cut his time.
• Stewart has installed a private sprint track at his Grade II-listed estate for daily high-intensity sessions.
• He says the effort is driven by a desire to stay fit and feed his competitive appetite.
• Stewart balances his rigorous training with preparations for his headline performance at Glastonbury Festival in June.
