I've got the same build as my uncle but no way would I ever push myself to the limits that he did!

Hmm, OK, so if I hopped into my DeLorean and went back to 1985, would I be running faster, and if so, why? Maybe running was considered a more serious sport, and so if I had got into it, there would be more peer pressure to achieve? The chances are though that if there was more pressure to achieve, I would have stuck to tiddlywinks instead.

Analysis like THIS tells you how things have changed. It seems to be the number of people between 20-40 that take the sport seriously that's declined. What are they all doing instead?
