I Found Longer Races Boring. I Found

I've Always Been Very Impatient. At Age 10 I Frankly Found Life Boring, And I Can Remember Age 9 Having The Awful Thought, As It Seems Now Looking Back On It, A War! That Should Liven Things Up A Bit!

Beating John Landy Was My Defining Race.

The Man Who Can Drive Himself Further Once The Effort Gets Painful Is The Man Who Will Win.

I Raced Supremely Well. I Felt I Was As Well Fitted To Do It As I Had Ever Been, And As Perhaps I Might Ever Be. I Went Climbing Three Weeks Before, Because I Was Feeling Fed Up With Running.

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.
