Question.
Runner's two 18's allowed to be included. (7)
Answer
Athlete.

Let = allowed? I can't find any other allowed that fits.
I've wondered if there's a golfing connection/ mathematical connection .
Te. Te. .... Two eighteens but unlikely.
Can anyone help me please?

Is it a reference to 18 as the clue answer?

If I were to bet, I’d say the answer to 18 is ARTICLE, giving A and THE as two 18s with LET inserted.

Paul and Jono. Thank you both so much. That's exactly right.
I have made this mistake before with numbers . I really must "read, learn and inwardly digest" .
Thanks again.

Glad we could help, Kitkat
