And even then only 100m sprinting.
No! Was always a crap runner, hated it with a passion, still do. Can't run for toffee these days, not even if I was being chased with malicious intent.
Swimming and cycling I was always pretty good at but anything weight bearing solely on my legs I am dreadful at.
Pity I can't use that excuse for my guitar playing!

Bit of trading feedback here.
I love cycling, but part of me wants to don a grey tracksuit and pretend I'm Rocky balboa.
Running as part of a sport, yes.
I used to play rugby and football, so short bursts rather than a footrace or distance.
Athletics wise, had I been interested I *could* (according to the school PE teachers) have done javelin, shot put and/or discus to county level without bother.
Shame I hated athletics.
Same with tennis.

I used to do ok in local/county cross country stuff, but never trained for it apart from in school PE lessons.
I really got into running about 8 years ago and was running about 40 miles a week but stopped after a holiday which was daft, should really get back into it as its a real head clearer for me and doing those sort of distances you can eat what you like and you're not putting weight on.

Don't think I could run to the end of the street now...
Will update this post in 10 years time.

My cardio-vascular fitness nowadays is pretty good, but that's down to an exercise bike (very unexciting, I know).
I suspect I'd achieve double and half respectively now.
As an aside, it still grinds my gears that I never got below 2:00 for the 800m. I had a bad knee injury from rugby in my first year at university which put me out for a year, and I gave up because I was something of a moody youth about the whole thing. Took up Karate instead, got disqualified for breaking somebody's nose at my first BUSA championships (he ran onto my fist, seriously) and decided that competitive sport was just not for me.
