I look at younger workmates, the fitness I take for granted, they have never developed in themselves. I think this fitness developed a character in NZer's something John Davies referred to in an interview once, JOhns enthusiasm for fitness and athletics always shone through comentating on TV. It's getting harder for us to produce athletes as great as Lorraine. I belive JOhnWalkers slower times to NIck willis's in the 1500 metres are still superior as JOhn walker was world number one and winning more races than NIck who is often being dragged along by faster runners in a pack to achieve his records.<BR/>Nick is still a great runner and I hope he goes on to emulate Johns world no 1 ranking but there is still room for improvement to catch up to our athletic legends from recent decades.Waynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13582374966270259947noreply@blogger.com
