About Me
Hi My name is John and I have been a runner for about 10 years, I was told I would probably never run due to being a chronic asthmatic, until I was 40 I had never run, but a friend of mine asked if I would run as part of a corporate cup team (4 people) for charity, I refused several times and just to stop the contant nagging I said yes, From there the secret runs started, running at otterspool prom when no one around, I did the run in just over 30 mins my breathing startedto improve but at the end ofa 5k I felt I could not run another step so I thought that was the furthest I could run, I joined Penny lane striders and my running was transformed, I now love the longer distance runs, as it take me a couple of miles for my breathing to settle, but then I get into my stride the breathing improves and I start to enjoy, Over the last few years had problems with chest infections and have not been able to run very much at all, but this year with new medication I am able to train again and have at last been discharged from the hospital (no more 6 monthly visits) and have now entered the 4 villages half and the Coniston 14, Training going ok, will keep you updated
