A couple of athletes who embody the empathy of running and the ethic that comes from it (in terms of empathy for our fellow beings, not empathy in terms of they caught and ate something): Emil Zatopek, who gave away a gold medal, and Derartu Tulu, who stopped to help a downed runner during the 2009 New York Marathon.
Yes, most of the ideas I've written about so far are from Chris McDougall, and yes, I've not only swallowed the Kool-Aid, apparently, it's in my Camelbak.
