| How and when did you first start running? | At junior and senior school, I couldn’t wait to start senior school so I could run cross country! However, fell out of love with it due to the pressure I put on myself in my teens. A few half and full marathons in my 20’s and 30’s but didn’t return to regular running till 2004 as a way of dealing with the loss of my wife the year before. |
| What brought you to Nidd Valley? | I moved to Harrogate two years ago and had spoken to one of the team at the Northumberland Coastal run who recommended the club to me! |
| When did you join Nidd Valley? | Jan/Feb 2017 |
| What is your favourite running music? Genre or specific tracks? | I don’t listen to music whilst running but only because of the faff with earplugs! |
