How long have you been a member:
5 years
Why did you start:
I was a member of Aycliffe Running Club (my hometown). I had known Paul Cook for a number of years and he told me the plans for the club so made the switch and have never looked back.

Road, half marathons are my fave.
Best event you’ve taken part in (and why):
London Marathon despite the hot weather. Iconic with great support.
Event you’re looking forward to (and why):
Not got any booked in at the moment. Would love to do another iconic marathon after already doing London & Berlin.
What’s on your headphones while you train:
Some upbeat house music, only listen to music when on solo easy runs.
Favourite training session (and why):
Fartlek. Brutal, but works!

Porridge and water
Post race food & drink of choice:

Hamsterley Forest.
Best Club related memory:
Breaking 1:30 at the Brass Monkey Half Marathon, and our many social events 😆🍷
If you could go for a long chatty run with anyone, who would it be and why:
Eliud Kipchoge. Greatest ever marathon runner. Broke 2hrs. Speaks for itself.

Up. The. Harriers!
