No one knows the fear in a front runner's mind more than me. When you set off at a cracking pace for four or five laps and find that your main rivals are still breathing down your neck, that's when you start to panic.

More quotes by Ron Clarke
There is not, and never was, a greater man than Emil Zatopek.
Ron Clarke
In my case, I thoroughly enjoy running 100-odd miles a week. If I didn't I wouldn't do it. Who can define happiness? To some, happiness is a warm puppy or a glass of cold beer. To me, happiness is running in the hills with my mates around me.
Ron Clarke
The hardest step for a runner to take is the first one out the door.
Ron Clarke
Worry about him? I never even heard of him.
Ron Clarke
