Hermitage Harriers RC

About Me
I have always intermittently enjoyed running, perhaps once or twice a year! I took up running more regularly at some point early in 2003. During my first run, at a time when I was a regular smoker, I got about half a mile before collapsing in a heap. The first running club I joined was at Swansea University in October 2005. My first race was the BUSA cross country champs at Stirling in 2006, and my first road race was the 2006 Swansea bay 10k. In June 2008 I joined Hermitage harriers for whom I competed in over 50 races to date. At various times I also train with the Charnwood, Preston University and Preston Harriers running clubs. After several injuries over the last few years I am now trying to train sensibly ( ie not doing too many speed sessions & not running another marathon anytime soon!), as I aim for a steady long term improvement in my running.
