Unfortunately no, in my day it was Frank Shorter who was one of my many idols when it came to running, along with Steve Prefontaine, who I met at the Drake Relays the year before. Watching him run was amazing, he would start the race and end the race at perfect stride.
He never held back, he ran from the heart, and his coach went on to design the shoe that Nike eventually made into a multi-million dollar business.
Jim Ryun was another great runner of those days, but he was before I ever really started running.
