Included in those wins was Fukuoka in 1967, where he ran 2:09:36.4, becoming the first man to break 2:12, 2:11 and 2:10, all in the one race.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tarkine.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-57609\" src=\"https:\/\/runnerstribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/2-1-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"696\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Less than 18 months later, Clayton ran even faster \u2013 2:08:33.6 in Antwerp. This performance stood as a world best until Rob de Castella ran 2:08:18 at Fukuoka more than 12 years later.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clayton was also a runner of excess, of extremes. \u00a0He didn\u2019t have an off switch. Whether or not this worked for or against him? \u00a0On the one hand he broke multiple world records, but on the other, he went under the surgeon\u2019s knife a total of 9 times. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>\u201cMaybe I would have benefited from a mentor during such times.\u201d <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Derek Clayton<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_29637\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-29637\" style=\"width: 316px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-29637\" src=\"https:\/\/www.runnerstribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/601771-derek-clayton-marathon-fukuoka.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"316\" height=\"385\" srcset=\"https:\/\/runnerstribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/601771-derek-clayton-marathon-fukuoka.jpg 316w, https:\/\/runnerstribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/601771-derek-clayton-marathon-fukuoka-246x300.jpg 246w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 316px) 100vw, 316px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-29637\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Clayton&#8217;s Tiger Marathon shoes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><b>Hard Yards<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><b>\u201cMarathon running is not a technical event; it is all about doing the hard yards.
