   • AAA 12 stage Relay, Sutton Park, May 1, 1971. 14:27 3.1M (fastest leg) While a month earlier he had won his first ever major title (a low-key AAA indoor under-20 1500m in 3:55.8), the first time he showed real national prominence was as a just turned 18-year-old when he moved Coventry Godiva from ninth to first on the second leg in British road running’s biggest event with the day’s fastest leg.
   • AAA Junior 1500m Championships, Wolverhampton, August 7, 1971. 1st 3:51.9. Black (European junior record 8:00.8) had proved too strong in the AAA Junior 3000m at Crystal Palace where he was sixth in 8:22.8.
   • National 12 stage Relay, Derby, April 28, 1973. 13:00 2.9M (fastest leg) He had been second fastest in 1972 but regained the fastest leg award as he ran a fairly lonely stage 10 only moving Coventry from fifth to fourth.
   • Philips National Indoor 1500m Champs, Cosford, January 24, 1976. 1st 3:45.6. He made little progress in 1974 focussing more on studying at Loughborough.

   Was Dave Moorcroft a world record holder?

   • While Bedford’s run was not signposted as a record attempt, it was not that shocking in that Bedford had previously set numerous European records over 5000m and 10,000m and was long thought of as a potential world record-holder. That was not the case with Dave Moorcroft in 1982.
