Does Sebastian Coe’s Mile plan have the potential to help revive athletics?
There are plenty of ways to skin a cat or, indeed, to pace a Mile, but perhaps embracing history is as valid as opening new frontiers.
The Mile "is something that we have been talking with the IAAF about recently, particularly with the passing of Roger Bannister."
"To represent New Zealand in Australia - it's always fun to try and beat those guys on their own turf."
Nick Willis could still add to his medal tally for New Zealand at the Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast this April.
Best ever race? "Winning the Commonwealth Games. I’d visualised how the race would go and had dreamed about it a lot. Nobody could beat me."
"Patience is the main thing I'll take away from 2017 — to trust my training and not get too disillusioned after not getting the results I want in each race."
