About Me
I've always been a keen runner but stepped it up in September 2006 culminating in a first FLM in April 2007. With 400 metres to go to the line and 2.56 on the clock I collapsed with heat exhaustion and woke up in the St John's ambulance tent! I vowed to put this right and did so the following year with a time of 2.57.41. In late 2009 I stepped up another level after a consistent period of track training to work on the base speed (I have always been an endurance man at heart). I am now pushing as hard as I can to go as fast as I can before age gets me. I have achieved many of my goals since coming to the sport but the key remaining goals are: Sub 2.30 marathon - DONE 22 APR 2012!!! Sub 70 min half marathon - DONE 19 FEB 2012!!! Other goals: Sub 9min 3k Sub 15.30 5k - Done 24 Jun 2015 Sub 32.30 10k - Done 24 Mar 2012 Show More...
