World champion Rob Heffernan wants to help walking gain popularity in the US and today’s 107th Millrose Games in Upper Manhattan will give him that opportunity. He spoke to John Riordan

This is the tough part, Rob Heffernan admits. He’s away from his new baby girl Regan for the first time since she was born late last month.
