| Tell us your name. | Alex Leslie |
| How and when did you first start running? | When I was younger I was never a keen runner. I dabbled a little in 2012/2013 and started running regularly in 2017 mainly to keep fit |
| What brought you to Nidd Valley? | I was struggling to improve my performances on my own and needed help during the cold winter months, so I decided to join a club! I didn’t want to join an ultra-serious elitist club and found the friendly Nidders at the Harrogate Parkrun and decided to give it a try! |
| When did you join Nidd Valley? | December 2017 |
| What is your favourite running music? Genre or specific tracks? | I don’t really listen to music when running anymore (unless its a very long run on my own!) but when I do it has to be something up tempo – great motivation when you are struggling up a long steep hill! |
| What is your favourite food before and after running? | Always peanut butter on toast – food of champions |
| What is your best running tip that you would like to share with us? | I’ve only recently started using one, but foam rollers are amazing – its really helped with my running and recovery |
| What is your proudest moment in your running career? | Smashing all the goals I have set for myself this year – I couldn’t have done it without NVRR |
| What are your running goals? | Id like to think that I could do a Full Marathon at some point |
| What event are you training for at the moment? | The birth of my first child in September! Running events are off the calendar until 2019 |
