Athlete’s bean (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

runner

This clue is a double definition.

'athlete's' is the first definition.
(type of athlete)

'bean' is the second definition.
(runner bean is a kind of bean)

(Other definitions for runner that I've seen before include "Messenger; plant shoot" , "done by con man, perhaps" , "Green vegetable" , "Old policeman" , "Canvas shoe with a rubber sole" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
