Description: Mindset of a Marathon Man
Jim Alder - Glasgow born and Morpeth raised - the reigning Commonwealth Games champion, describes his thoughts and feelings about Marathon running, and how it has affected his life. In the end it is a question of how hard you drive yourself, and for sheer guts and dogged perseverance Jim Alder will take some beating in the 1970 Commonwealth Games Marathon in Edinburgh.
Clip taken from Look Stranger: The Marathon Man, originally broadcast on BBC Two, 21 July, 1970.
