Our Concept Of A Family

My Introduction To Track Racing Was Through The Background Of Cross Country Running, Which Is Not A Sport Perhaps As Popular In America As It Is In England.

The Reason Sport Is Attractive To Many Of The General Public Is That It's Filled With Reversals. What You Think May Happen Doesn't Happen. A Champion Is Beaten, An Unknown Becomes A Champion.

I Trained For Less Than Three-quarters Of An Hour, Maybe Five Days A Week - I Didn't Have Time To Do More. But It Was All About Quality, Not Quantity - So I Didn't Waste Time Jogging, Ever.

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.

It's A Question Of Spreading The Available Energy, Aerobic And Anaerobic, Evenly Over Four Minutes. If You Run One Part Too Fast, You Pay A Price. If You Run Another Part More Slowly Your Overall Time Is Slower.
