An incredibly well-written article; thank you for taking me there. I have always been a fan of John Walker's and in more general terms, that era of miling (and other middle distances) from the mid-70s through the mid-80s. This article greatly adds to my fascination with that time period and the athletes who seemed larger than life.
Fantastic article of an amazing race, and era. I appreciate it very much. Thank you. I look forward to subscribing to your newsletter, and will do so shortly once at my office computer. Ovett/ Coe was such a media phenomena then (very appropriately)…. And many fans came to regard them as racers from another planet. When Scott ran such a fast mile that night, I remember being totally stunned!
