"But I was lucky that someone believed in me, showed me something that would allow me to be myself. If it hadn't been for running, and being taken to my local club, it would have been a totally different story.It was a revelation that added to his already immense achievements, for which he was honoured for his services to athletics with a knighthood and voted BBC Sports Personality of the Year in 2017.
