Miss Violet Piercey the longdistance record holding runner is featured. Miss Piercey ran 26 1, 2 miles non stop from London to Windsor in record time. Miss Piercey runs in a white jersey and black shorts. Three cyclists accompany her and she is followed by a car. M, S of Miss Piercey running moving shot presumably from the car. We then see Miss Piercey in training skipping at an athletics track. C, U of her feet as she skips. Interesting to note that her running shoes are nothing like the trainers of the 1990s. More like tap dancing shoes. Miss Piercey runs around an athletics track. We then see her run past the camera in slow motion. C, U of the sportswoman she smiles at the camera.
