About Me
I used to hate running. Started hitting the gym in my early twenties, then dabbled with a bit of running. After uni I joined Bedford Harriers, loved racing over the old distances, but was never super fast. The running took a back seat for a few years , during which I re-trained as a personal trainer. After reading an interview with PSH in Spikes magazine I just knew I had to bring parkrun to Milton Keynes. Was that really over 15 years ago? (2008) as this profile will soon look very dated. It was all thanks to Fetch forums that I got a team together to look after the event. 5k is a smidge over 19 minutes, but that feels like a very long time ago now. I do wonder if I can return down from 24 to 20 minutes... Show More...
