Supposedly Denis Wise used to do a 25 minute 5 mile tempo on the grass in London every week during the summer to keep fit for the long premiership season?
2 years after he retired Dennis did Superstars. For a retired footballer not noted for his speed 12.75 100m was pretty good. Even more impressive was his his 800m 2:08
A lot of soccer players would make good runners especially middle distance as they have good speed but cannot be just s sprinter as they are playing for 90 mins.
