THERE is not much Terry Nortley doesn't know about running.
For the past 50 years he has been passing it on to others as a coach.
Terry, who lives in Radcliffe, is a familiar face at the local club, and as well as training runners is usually at the races himself to see how they perform.
But in the early 1950s Terry was a force to be reckoned with on the running scene.
He was a cross-country champion and also a ten-mile champ. He had joined the old Radcliffe Harriers in 1946 and was made a life-member in 1956. That same year the club amalgamated with Bury and he was secretary for three years.
During that time Terry qualified as a club coach. He later coached at Bolton United Harriers AC for many years, where he was president for two years, and then carried on the good work at the reformed Radcliffe Athletic Club. In the 1970s he started fell running and put two Snowdon races and two Ben Nevis classics under his belt.
In the coaching world Terry has passed on his expertise to many runners and even though he is now in his seventies he has no intention of stopping just yet*
