A man who truly loved the simplicity of life and the simplicity of running.
I was also at the talk he gave in York - wasn't he brilliant? - and because he was staying overnight with a friend was able to meet him briefly. A true humanitarian and a great inspiration. I was fascinated by the story of his life as caballo blanco the 'white horse' in Chris McDougall's book Born to Run, and his love of the Tarahumara people of the Copper Canyons. I've been following him on Facebook and it won't be the same without his frequent posts and insights. All you can say is that he died doing what he loved best.............
