| How and when did you first start running? | I joined Stroud Athletic Club when my first job took me down to Gloucestershire and I started sitting still more but still consuming vast amounts of biscuits… excersis was needed! There was a bloke called Jim who lead a ‘steady’ group. I’ve channeled him ever since. |

| When did you join Nidd Valley? | October 2015 |
| What is your favourite running music? Genre or specific tracks? | I don’t listen to music, mostly because of the tech faf needed, and my pace would be all over the shop. I much prefer to talk to others, or enjoy the quiet of the countryside. |
