Longer Distance Runs

Frankfurt, Jan. 25.

Czech "human locomotive" and triple Olympic Gold Medal winner Emil Zatopek is determined to continue his record-breaking pace in 10.000 Metres runs and up during the 1954 athletic season, the official magazine of the West German Track and Field Association reported from Prague in its latest edition.

Zatopek, the publication added, may no longer attempt to shatter the 5,000 Metres world mark and other shorter distaner records.
