About Me
Dubious and reluctant mid-life (2011, early 40s) recruit to running, surprised to find it enjoyable! Got my sub-40m 10k at the end of 2013, followed by a sub-3 marathon at Chesterfield in Sept 2014 and then 2:54 in Manchester 2016 (pic above). Further gradual improvement to 2:51 and 2:48 in 2017 and 18, both at Mancs again. A result of accrued experience and gently increasing mileage. Kept chipping away with 2:47 in 2019 and also a 10k PB. After the covid-enforced break in racing, I'm definitely over the hill but hoping to decline gracefully. I won't see any more true PBs but a WAVA target of 82% is now in sight. Hoping I can get older more rapidly than I get slower! Show More...
