It has stood the test of time and is the second oldest official European athletics record. “I went close to it en route to breaking the European 25,000m record in Oslo last month, I was 241m short when 60 minutes were up. “I have been here for just under a month already and I’ll be here for another month, until just after the record attempt,” added the 29-year-old former European marathon record holder. Moen has an affinity for the Kristiansand Stadium where he will attempt the one hour record. At the same venue in August 2019, he broke the Norwegian 10,000m record in 27:24.78, the third fastest by a European last year.
