Great clip. Ronnie Delaney beat them all then two years later in the Olympics. I wonder was Ronnie close to the first 4 minute mile

He was the 7th person to run sub 4 (1956), youngest man to run a sub 4 minute mile and was first man to run under 4 minutes in the USA

And both in the hapenny place compared to Sebastian Coe. You get a better class of complete cunt on the mainland.

The cunt was up at Castleknock Celtic mini leagues every day last week striding around hoping someone would recognise and greet him. I’d know his niece and you can see how they’re related.

Would the best middle and long distance runners also be very fast sprinters when they were younger? As in winning county community games 100m as u12s or the likes
In my experience - no. They are average sprinters but would have been strong cross country runners and strong at the middle distance youth events which started from 600m up.

Tim Noakes said decades back that the best marathoners would come from middle distance runners. That man is a savant.

So young but you’d hope that this would stand to her.
