Brendan Foster: “I think it’s fantastic we’ve got these new shoes”

The European/Commonwealth champion of 10000m, the 1000m Bronze Olympic medalist and former 3000m/two miles world record holder why technology in the race should adopt

Brendan Foster, who founded The Great Run Company, has welcomed new technologies within athletics and emphasized that the approach should be in the competition and not in records.

In an exclusive interview with Tim Hutchings-Part of our new Legends series, the old 3000 mm and two miles world, the record explained that “the records are there to break” and that the Supershoes are “moving forward and moving forward the sport.”

Foster, who is well located to make a judge on the subject, since he founded the great Run North in 1981, added that they are more variables to break records on the road compared to the track.

“My thing is that I think it is fantastic that we have these new shoes and technologies,” he said. “They are advancing and moving the sport. They run faster and so on, and thus strong at the end of the day, we ran on Tartán, Roger Banner runs, ran on ashes tracks and before that they ran with shit ashes clues.

“It is called life and at the end of the day the records are there to break. They have broken time and also [technology] Doos make no difference sometimes. I remember seeing George Mills against Jakob incorrects and I couldn’t tell you what time they ran.

“You could have a storm force wind that blows behind you in the marathon and you can still break the world record. You can’t do that on the track. The marathon is a different distance and the times are much less relevant than you think they are. At the end of the day, if they break the record, great, and if they do not break the record, you have won the race.

“It is an intrinsic competition and it is about finding the best of the day. The courses, shoes, turns and turns, wind and rain and the climbs and descent are irrelevant.”

Foster, in the episode, also remembers his 3000m world record in his local song in Gateshead in 1974, one of the three most satisfactory races of the 77 -year -old career.

Famous, which had already broken the world in the two -mile record in Crystal Palace a year earlier, he declared that if Gateshead covers a new surface, to replace the ash track, then he would try to break the world of Emiel’s puttemen.

Tim Hutchings and Brendan Foster

Foster not only, on the front or tens or thousands of partisan fans, but better that time, but also played more than two seconds, registering 7: 35.2 in Gatehead. Brit’s world record was so good that it lasted four years, when Henry Rono ran 7: 32.1 in Oslo in 1978.

“I remember saying that ‘I heard that the council will build a new track and if you do, I will come there and break the world record,” he told Hutchings. “I kept training and still had at the bottom of my head that I told them would break the world record. It was a stupid to do!

“Fortunately, I was running well and Mike Baxter, who was an old trainingmate of mine, walked through the first 1500m. The place was full and I managed to break the world record. It was a silly thought to say [I’d break the world record] But you remember it forever. It was a very good brand or 7: 37.6. I remember thinking about ‘Christ’. It was one of my best careers physically and the story behind her was probably more interesting than the real race. “
