About Me
Living the life aquatic while I decide what I want to be when I grow up. Recently some regular Jeffing and latterly running has been added to my schedule. I'm very much enjoying the variety, so looking forward to some races in 2025. April 2025 update: Raced a 5k at Easter and have a few 10ks and a half marathon booked for later in the year. Trying to be sensible about building up mileage, and getting plenty of rest and cross training in between. Show More...

What’s the best bit of advice that you would give to new runners, bikers and swimmers? Slow down, and then slow down some more. For swimming in particular, you have to learn to go slowly in order to be able to go fast.
