Buck ran tremendously well in the 2008 indoor season, setting a PB of 46.34 but injuries meant that Richard did not run significantly faster outdoors. However, Buck returned with an even better indoor season in 2009, setting a PB of 46.22 at the Aviva Birmingham Indoor Grand Prix, before placing fifth in the final at the European Indoor Championships. 2010 never matched his aspirations but he still picked up medals in the 4x400m at the World indoors and at the European Team Championships. 2011 has started off well with a bronze medal at the European Indoor Championships and also a silver medal as part of the 4x400m squad.

Richard, was an English Schools basketball finalist in 2005 and says that while studying sports coaching at Leeds MET he has "re-found himself in sport."

His younger brother, James is also a talented 400m runner. In his spare time Richard used to collect Warhammer, but now has a somewhat large DVD collection and is a fan of sport, Western gangster and Sci-Fi movies. He has also coached on Aviva Startrack courses.
