Beating John Landy Was My Defining Race.

I Wanted To Be A Neurologist. That Seemed To Be The Most Difficult, Most Intriguing, And The Most Important Aspect Of Medicine, Which Had Links With Psychology, Aggression, Behavior, And Human Affairs.

I Found Longer Races Boring. I Found The Mile Just Perfect.

I Was Always A Great Bundle Of Energy. As A Child, Instead Of Walking, I Would Run. And So Running, Which Is A Pain To A Lot Of People, Was Always A Pleasure To Me Because It Was So Easy.

We Run, Not Because We Think It Is Doing Us Good, But Because We Enjoy It And Cannot Help Ourselves

Beating John Landy Was My Defining Race.
