91-year-old French marathon runner Pierre Sablayrolles has become a father for the seventh time. The athlete's 39-year-old wife, Aisha, gave birth to a daughter named Louise Marie.
İdman.Biz, citing L'Indépendant, reports that the marathon runner is well known in the French Eastern Pyrenees region and, despite his advanced age, continues to actively engage in running and maintain his physical shape.
Sablayrolles was born in Mayenne in the mid-1930s and lived through the pre-war period. Despite his old age, he leads an active lifestyle: he trains regularly, performs strength and endurance exercises, and also works on a plot of land where he grows crops with his family. According to him, good physical shape allows him to feel much younger.
The athlete's wife also confirms that he remains a caring father and a reliable husband. The Frenchman explains the secret to feeling good with a strict regimen: he refuses alcohol, eats a balanced diet, and dedicates about an hour each day to stretching exercises.
