At 61, DonnaJean Wilde held a plank for five hours — and she may have set a world record doing it

DonnaJean Wilde held a plank — the still, shaking, whole-body hold most of us abandon inside a minute — for five hours at the Huntsman World Senior Games in Utah earlier this month. At 61, her feat could amount to a new world record for the longest plank held by a woman. NPR told her story on Monday, and it is really a story about what a body that refuses to retire can still do.
