About Me
Was a sprinter and jumper in my youth (former junior county long jump champion - but only when the really good bloke didn't turn up). Took up 'proper' running in 2007 as insurance against some unpromising cardio-vascular family history. Got the bug in 2008, and joined Biggleswade Athletic Club. Steadily improved over a few years, but struggle to fit consistent training in with work commitments (long hours and long commute), family life and other interests - and now the lure of ever longer ultras is stronger than working on getting my road PBs down. Latest was the King Offa's Dyke Race (185 miles) - and just deciding whether to try to go even longer... I'm also a Conquercise addict, and have enjoyed expanding my zones around home and elsewhere.

1mi, 11:40 Running - General Decided I really had other things I would rather be doing than plodding out 16 miles under a grey sky, so canned the 'run the greater of the sum or the product' challenge.
