From the source

Steven Gerrard was told just how quickly James Milner ran the New York Marathon, and he named the England veteran alongside a Chelsea player in his three fittest former teammates.

Milner retired from football in the summer, after ending a career that started at Leeds, culminated in the Premier League title with both Man City and Liverpool, and finished with a few years at Brighton.

When players retire, some leave their fitness in the past, but Milner has taken it to a new level. Over the weekend, Milner posted a mightily impressive time of three hours and nine minutes in the NY Marathon.
