“I still run every other day. Longer at weekends. I probably do 35 mile...” — Sebastian Coe Quote

I still run every other day. Longer at weekends. I probably do 35 miles a week.

During my first Olympics in 1980, at the age of 23, I was physically in great condition but mentally too inexperienced to cope comfortably in the pressure cooker of an Olympic year.

Ask me what makes a champion runner, and I will tell you it helps to have the great good sense to choose your parents carefully.

I wouldn't have raced a horse. But you'll then throw back at me that Jesse Owens raced against a horse, and he's one of my heroes, so I'm not going to say it was a silly stunt. I know too much about horses. They're highly unreliable, and they've got brains the size of golf balls.

You can't rent a car in Bermuda; about twenty miles long and two miles wide at its fattest, it deems itself too small for surplus traffic.

Don't plan to drive more than 300 miles a day.

You never really know when you're going a hundred miles a minute what you're doing to your body.

The minute they gave me number one, I went to the studio. I was ready to give y'all something else. I was going 120 miles an hour.

The first time I jumped from a plane, I screamed like a woman. I was two miles up and you could hear me clear as day. Now I love it.
