Fue uno de los mejores corredores de media y larga distancia en la década de 1960, destacado por haber establecido diecisiete [[récord mundial\|récords mundiales]]. ~~'''Ronald William Clark''' (2 de noviembre de 1916 – 1987) fue un escritor británico autor de biografias, obras de ficción y no-ficción.~~ == Athletic career == Nacido en [[Londres]], Clark concurre al [[King's College School]]. En 1933, comienza una carrera como [[periodista]], y es [[corresponsal de guerra]] durante la [[Segunda Guerra Mundial]], luego de que no lo aceptan en el ejercito por problemas médicos. Como corresponsal de Guerra desembarca en [[Juno Beach]] con las tropas canadienses el [[Día D]]. Sigue la Guerra hasta su conclusión, y permanece en Alemania informando sobre los principales juicios de los [[crímenes de guerra]].. {{MedalTableTop}} Regresa a Inglaterra en 1948, donde comienza una carrera como escritor. Escribe mucho sobre temas que abarcan desde [[montañismo]] (más de una docena de obras), la [[bomba atómica]], el [[Castillo de Balmoral]], y los exploradores, como también novelas sobre historia alternativa. También escribe varias biografías de diversos personajes historicos, incluidos: [[Charles Darwin]], [[Thomas Edison]], [[Albert Einstein]], [[Benjamin Franklin]], [[Sigmund Freud]], [[J.B.S. Haldane]], [[V. I. Lenin]], [[Bertrand Russell]], [[Ernst Chain]], y [[William Friedman\|William F. Friedman]]. {{MedalCountry\|{{AUS}}}} {{MedalSport\|Men's [[Athletics at the Summer Olympics\|Athletics]]}} {{MedalCompetition\|[[Olympic Games]]}} {{MedalBronze\|[[1964 Summer Olympics\|1964 Tokyo]]\|[[Athletics at the 1964 Summer Olympics – Men's 10,000 metres\|10,000 metres]]}} {{MedalCompetition\|[[Commonwealth Games]]}} {{MedalSilver\|[[1962 Commonwealth Games\|1962 Perth]]\|[[Athletics at the 1962 British Empire and Commonwealth Games#Men\|3 miles]]}} {{MedalSilver\|[[1966 Commonwealth Games\|1966 Kingston]]\|[[Athletics at the 1966 British Empire and Commonwealth Games#Men\|3 miles]]}} {{MedalSilver\|[[1966 Commonwealth Games\|1966 Kingston]]\|6 miles}} {{MedalSilver\|[[1970 Commonwealth Games\|1970 Edinburgh]]\|[[Athletics at the 1970 British Commonwealth Games#Men\|10000 metres]]}} {{MedalBottom}} During the 1960s Clarke won 12 Victorian track championships ranging from 1500 m to {{convert\|6\|mi\|km}}. He won the bronze medal in the 10,000 m at the [[1964 Summer Olympics]], but never won an Olympic gold medal. At the [[1968 Summer Olympics]] in [[Mexico City]], Clarke collapsed and nearly died from altitude sickness sustained during the grueling 10,000 m race final. He suffered permanent heart damage from this event, as despite training in the Alps to get acclimatised to high altitudes at Mexico City, this could not put him on par with opponents from African countries, who had always run at high altitude. Clarke finished in sixth place, but remembered nothing of the last lap. He sufficiently recovered to compete in the 5,000 meter heats a few days later. ~~==Obras selectas==~~ ''The Day the Rope Broke: The Story of the First Ascent of the [[Matterhorn]]'' (1965) In the [[1962 British Empire and Commonwealth Games]] he won silver in the {{convert\|3\|mi\|km}} event, and in the [[1966 British Empire and Commonwealth Games\|1966 Games]] he won silver medals in the {{convert\|3\|mi\|km}} and {{convert\|6\|mi\|km}} events. During a 44-day European tour in 1965, he competed 18 times and broke 12 world records, including the 20,000 m (12.4 miles). On 10 July, at London's [[White City Stadium]], he became the first man to run 3 miles in under 13 minutes, lowering the world record to 12:52.4. Four days later, in Oslo, he lowered his own 10,000m world record by 36.2 seconds to 27:39.4, becoming the first man to break the 28 minute barrier.

Haldane'' (1968) ISBN 0-340-04444-6 To win against a field of kickers, Clarke needed a fast pace throughout or a sustained surge at the end. He improved his {{convert\|2\|mi\|km\|adj=on}} speed in 1967 and 1968, lowering [[Michel Jazy]]'s world record by 3 seconds, running an 8:19.8 and then an 8:19.6.
