Describe your ideal run, ride or swim.
My ideal run: A race where I can visualise the course unfolding before me, and have the strength and training to run it however I want to. Last happened in the Autumn of 2016, a real sweet spot.

What’s the best bit of advice that you would give to new runners, bikers and swimmers?

About Me

I re-started running as my main way of keeping fit in February 2013, just before my 45th birthday.

I’ve also had Rhematoid Arthritis since 2011, thankfully I only get the occasional flare-up now. I’ve actually found that running in general and parkrun in particular has been the best medicine; link to a more detailed piece on my experience here:
