My Athleticism Was Really The

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

Your Spikes, Which Were Really Quite Long Then, Would Catch The Material Of The Track And Your Shoe Would Get Heavier. I Was Simply Filing Them Down And Rubbing Some Graphite On The Spikes, So That I Thought I Would Run More Effectively.

My Concentration Was Really On Getting To University And Becoming A Doctor. My Parents Let Me Know That School Marks Were Important. Achievement Was Something Which Came By Hard Work.

If There Was The Opportunity To Climb A Mountain, Or To Go Ballooning, Or Some Adventurous Activity, I Would Always Be Keen To Do It. I Loved The Countryside.

The Mile Has All The Elements Of A Drama.
