This one seems to have been missed, runner and clothing for runner's; Ron Hill - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/athletics/57220289

"In 1970 he became the first Briton to win the Boston Marathon, breaking the course record, that is some going."

"The Accrington-born athlete ran every day from 20 December 1964 to 31 January 2017 - including after snapping his sternum in a car accident in 1993." That made me physically wince.



82 and he ran every day. My mother-in-law passed away last month, almost 79, heavy smoker most of her life. Not much extra years with all that running is it?

RIP Ron has run. His last race.
