Tell us your name. | Jonathan Easton |
How and when did you first start running? | I joined the Army when I was 18 so running became part of the daily routine. |
What brought you to Nidd Valley? | After leaving the forces in 2004 and embarking on a new career, I settled back down in Harrogate and tried to keep up my physical fitness. I was running but not really enjoying it as I didn’t have any running ‘pals’. A internet search pointed me in the direction of Nidd Valley (located back then in a wet and cold changing room at Harrogate Railway FC) and I haven’t looked back! |
When did you join Nidd Valley? | 2005 or 2006, it’s all a bit of a blur.. |
What is your favourite running music? Genre or specific tracks? | I don’t listen to music while running, I don’t know why as I’ve never tried it! |
What is your favourite food before and after running? | Porridge with honey prior to any long run, toast and marmite for after. And a brew. |
What is your best running tip that you would like to share with us? | Remember to rest and recover! Time off works wonders….. |
What is your proudest moment in your running career? | Completing my first marathon – London 2014- a unique experience that tries to drag you back each year despite already ticking that box. |
What are your running goals? | To stay relatively fit, take each mile at a time, and recover at every opportunity. And maybe try more fell stuff. |
What event are you training for at the moment? | No specific race, just trying to stay fit before the before the autumn and winter are upon us. |
