Just to share a few of my favourite running-related photos I discovered (circa the 1970s). Obviously, I don't claim ownership to these pictures. NOTE TO copyright owners of any of these pictures, please tell me if you want them removed:-

Frank Shorter on the cover of Sports Illustrated, May ed, 1976, a few months before the 1976 Olympics to be held at Montreal, Canada.



5,000 meter finals, Olympics 1972 at Munich, West Germany. From left to right- Steve Prefontaine (in USA vest), Emiel Puttemans (partially covered bib no. 6), Mohammed Gammoudi, Ian Stewart, then I think its David Bedford (his face covered), Seradov of Russia, and of course, Lasse Viren.



Marathon, Olympics 1972. Kenny Moore embracing a yellow Adidas-ed moustachioed Frank Shorter (the latter of whom won the gold medal).
