  Loved watching Crammy running at his peak in the mid 80's when I was kid along with Coe and Ovett of course. A golden age for British running that's unlikelyto be repeated.

  Crammy was my hero in 84 ... I was a 13 year old at Queens park Harriers and everyone wanted his signature yellow Nike kit !

  Great interview and interesting to hear about the local  competitions as a youngster as our school did absolutely nothing of the sorts to develop young athletes in the early 80s! I'm now lucky to be part of an athletics club that have fantastic coaches for young people (as well as masters athletes)

  I got Steve crams autograph ✍️ in the early 90s at the Gateshead international cross countrythat used to be on as a live televised meet. I think I was a colt or u11 at the time. He signed the programme and still have it to this day.

  He was lucky with his first year at senior school XC being one mile, ours was double that. I recall the day after we all had painful calves.

  It`s usually the second and third tier runners, the good communicators with a passion for the sport, who find their calling in coaching - not world class distance runners. In that regard, Steve is a rare bird.

  1986 Cram was different class.

  Does anyone else remember TV coverage of Steve Cram.  David Coleman…”So Brendan, what do you think of Seb Coe’s chances in this race. Brendan Foster: Well, there’s a young lad in this race, Steve Cram…. Next race: Do you think Ovett can break the world record again, Brendan? Foster: ‘Steve Cram is in great forms, I think the record will go”….

  Would have been interesting to hear more about 1987 and 1988, and even the 1990 Europeans. Too much to cram into half an hour. No pun intended :)
