swittle Jan 2017 9:45pm, 31 Jan 2017 42,672 posts	0 swittle Unassuming, shy but an athlete one felt drawn to, even at the most of races. No side on him at all but prodigiously talented twice over for his athletic and academic achievements. Ron would train before work and often after too. No purpose built training camps, nutritionists or army of 'advisers'. The Tough of the Track? I'd say so.

Turkhish Jan 2017 10:00pm, 31 Jan 2017 564 posts	0 Turkhish Hard to say SW......Ive always liked running ....I was thought of as a bit odd in the late 70,s when I used to go out running........but the likes of Ron Hill and Brendan Foster encouraged me to do it despite the mickey taking.....Henry Rono was a particular fave too......
