Biggest sporting achievement: Ran 2:08:36 at London Marathon 1997 - sixth fastest UK time in history
There's a new British cycling star appearing on the scene and he has quite the sporting surname. Nineteen-year-old Lukas Nerurkar, a stage winner at the Baby Giro this June, is the son of Richard, Britain's best marathon runner in the 1990s. Now 59, Richard finished fifth at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, aged 32, and his time of 2:08:36 at the London Marathon the following year remains the sixth-fastest time by a Briton. In this new 'Meet the Maker' series, we get to know both the sporty parent and their pro cyclist child to assess the extent to which the maker passed on, by nature and nurture, the ingredients of success.
