When did you join Sportsworld?
In October 2023
Where do you work?
I work as a Change Management Consultant for a Technology Consultancy called Expleo, but am actually heading off for a career break to Vancouver for 12 months!
What is your favourite club session?
Tesco lap, 1 min on, 1 min off. Sucker for punishment
What is your favourite race distance?
Always a marathon
What is your favourite meal before a big race?
Enormous bowl of pasta with a tomato sauce and chopped sausages. Carbo loading is truly my main reason for marathon running.
My Favourite place to train?
A long run up the greenway and loop up round Bohernabreena Reservoir. Creeped Loobi doing it on Strava and loved it since.
What’s your favourite race?
Docklands 5k. Great vibes and straight to the pub!
What is your target for the next year?
I’m hoping to use my Barcelona Marathon time to gain ‘good for time’ entries to New York and Boston marathon next year, so just focused on staying in shape over the next year
What international events have you ran?
Tokyo and Barcelona Marathon (plus a few in Britain)
Where’s the most interesting place you have run?
Tokyo, the people and culture are amazing, and the route brings you right through the heart of the city
Where’s the most interesting place you’ve been? (Doesn’t have to be running related)
I’d say Vietnam, incredible, people, scenery and history
What do you like doing when you don’t run? (hobbies/past times)
I’d like to play more golf (I’m useless) but spend most of my time catching trains and flights seeing family and old friends in the UK and around the world
How/When did you start your adventure with running?
Back in 2015, used be little bit too fond of the buffet table at Univeristy so getting into running was pretty transformative for me.
Tell us about your PB’s / What is your biggest achievement?
Somehow managed 2.46 at the Barcelona Marathon in March this year
What is your biggest non-running related achievement?
Back in the day I was the President of the Students Union in Birmingham, somehow managed to convince a bunch of Brummies to vote for a loud Nordie
