In comparison to some, I am definitely the new boy. I joined the club in 2023 and I can honestly say that was a life changing decision (Just ask my bank manager or my wife about my shoe habit). From my very first try out on a training night where I was welcomed by Steve Berry, “Its a drinking club with a running problem”.  I have been blown away by the support, friendship and camaraderie.

I achieved my LiRF qualification with the club allowing me to take a more active role in leading groups. This in turn allowed me to meet some of the most inspirational people, complete my first marathon (done 3 now) and go beyond what I ever thought was possible.

I have taken on the role of race director for the clubs 2 flagship events and look forward to hassling you all for volunteering or race entry purposes. Whats next now I have made it to the committee??? Not sure, but its going to be fun finding out!

I can mostly be found at events displaying a talent for standing on one leg in front of a camera, or practicing my pained expression. On a good day, I can do both at the same time.

I couldn’t finish a profile without of course mentioning my extreme passion for cake and baked goods, both baking and consumption of, perhaps if I could get that balance correct, my pace may improve??

You are all incredible people that have helped me develop in more ways than you can know, and I look forward to doing whatever I can to contribute to the future of the club.
