What is your best running tip that you would like to share with us? | Run with your other half, its good for your relationship and gets you on jollies to Barcelona, Hadrian Wall etc. That said dont try and pace your wife – doesnt work. Run with mates, my favourite runs have been clambering in the snow with Dave Prince and Brian also getting stuck up Beamsley Beacon in a Bog while Mike Benson was crying with laughter and cramp. |
What is your proudest moment in your running career? | Pacing Rosemary and Jonathan under 1 hour for their 10k was fun, Ive helped quite a few club members to get their 5k pbs. Not sure if its being proud, but Winter Ultra with Dave Prince – glad I experienced those conditions not many people did ! |
