If, like me, you take a passing interest in the NCAA cross-country championships, it may start and finish with Morgan McDonald’s victory in November 2018. Or maybe you have firm memories of Pat Tiernan’s win in 2016.

One of the greatest milers to ever live is now 38 years-of-age and still dropping sub-four minute miles. What a career Kiwi miler Nick Willis has had. Two Olympic medals, Commonwealth Games Gold, the Oceanic record over 1500m (3:29.66) and amazingly Willis owns the world record as being the only man to run sub-four for the mile, for 19 consecutive years. Let's take a look at Willis' five best races.

Most die hard track fans know of Asbel Kiprop.  The 2008 Olympic 1500m champ, and winner of three world championship 1500m titles (2011, 2013, 2015) is the third fastest 1500m runner of all-time with his 3:26.69 set in 2015. The controversial Kenyan was handed a four year doping ban when he tested positive to EPO in 2017. Kipop's ban is set to end in Febuary 2022. He has always maintained his innocence.
On December the 6th, it will be 40 years since we saw one of the great performances  in Australian distance running history, when Robert de Castella won the 1981 Fukuoka Marathon in Japan, in a world record of 2.08.18. De Castella – known worldwide as ‘Deek’ – beat the 12 year-old record of fellow Australian Derek Clayton by 16 seconds and launched a marvelous career. At the time, however, de Castella’s time was not recognized as a world record. More on this later.
The first time I went to Japan to run the Fukuoka marathon my feet didn’t touch the ground until the five-kilometer point of the race.
