About Me
I've been running since February 2008, when I started after signing up for a 10k with work colleagues. Since then I've grown to love it and although I have a tendency to break myself with alarming regularity I try to run regularly and enter the occassional race. After running my first marathon in April 2010 I suffered from ongoing knee problems I've struggled with ever since. In 2012 I had an X-ray, an MRI scan and an Isotope Bone Scan all of which failed to find any obvious problem! From late 2012 I have limited my running to only two sessions per week but also done a lot of cycling in the gym, which seems to suit me better than three runs per week. I haven't done very many official races and have run some of my best times on my own in training, so these don't appear as official PBs. Best times: 5k - 22:20 (22:32 in an official race) 10k - 46:39 (49:33 in an official race) HM - 1:49:01 (1:58:26 in an official race) M - 4:20:58 Show More...

About Me

I've been running since February 2008, when I started after signing up for a 10k with work colleagues. Since then I've grown to love it and although I have a tendency to break myself with alarming regularity I try to run regularly and enter the occassional race.

After running my first marathon in April 2010 I suffered from ongoing knee problems I've struggled with ever since. In 2012 I had an X-ray, an MRI scan and an Isotope Bone Scan all of which failed to find any obvious problem!

From late 2012 I have limited my running to only two sessions per week but also done a lot of cycling in the gym, which seems to suit me better than three runs per week.

I haven't done very many official races and have run some of my best times on my own in training, so these don't appear as official PBs.

Best times:

5k - 22:20 (22:32 in an official race)
10k - 46:39 (49:33 in an official race)
HM - 1:49:01 (1:58:26 in an official race)
M - 4:20:58
