The Big Run - Episode 31 - Sir Brendan Foster - You Better Know What Your Talking About

Sir Brendan Foster is a British former long-distance runner, athletics commentator and road race organiser, who founded the Great North Run, one of the sport's most high profile half-marathon races.  As an athlete, he won the bronze medal in the 10,000 metres at the 1976 Summer Olympics and the gold medal in the 5,000 metres at the 1974 European Championships and the 10,000 metres at the 1978 Commonwealth Games.  He provided commentary and analysis on athletics, particularly long-distance events, for BBC Sport since the end of his running career before retiring in 2017. A true legend, it was an honour to chat with Brendan.
