About Me
Started running in the summer of '07 - decided I was a lazy sod and so entered a 10k and then had no option but to train for it. Now addicted! Sep 09: After about 6 months off with an injured knee it feels like I'm learning to run all over again. Slow and steady wins the race, but it's very frustrating! March 2012: Can't believe it's been nearly 3 years since I was forced out of running with IT band troubles. Laziness took over for a while but I'm back in the game now. VLM here we come... Marathon: tick. But rather slow. Current plan (Jul '12) is sub 4 at Leicester Marathon. Until then just enjoying the training and the shorter races. July 2021: Fat old man, shuffling August 2022: Back in the game. First olympic distance tri completed in June. Now aiming for Vitruvian middle disrtance tri in Sept, hopefully followed by my first marathon for almost a decade. October 2022: Vitruvian middle distance tri completed. Rutland Marathon completed. More than 2 stone lighter than I was in the summer of 2021. Main aim now: Outlaw full distance tri, July 2023 August 2023: Half IM complete. Outlaw full distance complete. Enjoying being in shape. First gentle intro to Ultras due at the end of Sept. Looking at maybe an IM in Europe next summer. March 2025: IM Vitoria-Gasteiz completed. First Backyard Ultra completed. Solidly back into regular training and racing and enjoying it. This year, aiming for a sub-4 marathon and an IM distance PB. Tentative plans for 2026 involve 7 maras in 7 days, and a 24 hour BYU Show More...
