Richard Askwith is the multi-award-winning author of books such as Feet in the Clouds, Running Free (“a runner’s journey back to nature”), Today We Die a Little (a biography of the great Emil Zátopek) and The Race Against Time (about running in later life). A keen runner for over 40 years, he claims to have achieved “almost nothing” in the sport apart from “life-changing satisfaction”. But he did appear as an extra in the 1981 film Chariots of Fire. Here he faces questions from a live audience over Zoom.
