When did my RUN love begin?
I have been running since I was about 10 years old. The rule in our household was always you can sit in the car and be bored, or you can get out and join in. You can guess which option I chose.
My mum and dad were keen race walkers and are passionate about athletics and running. Dad impressively managed a sub 3hr London Marathon back in the day.
Running took a back seat whilst I studied
I undertook a Sports Science degree at Brunel University in 2010, but until now have lived a life in the corporate world. There was also a period when fitness took a back seat, and partying was the priority.
Then in 2014 I joined CrossFit, which got me active, and reawakened my love for fitness. In an effort to get fitter for CrossFit I started incorporating runs into my programmes. I started getting faster, and faster off not much specific training at all. I entered a few races, joined my local athletics club, and the rest is history. Over the past few years I’ve shaved over 10 minutes off my 10km time, and sit in the top 25% for my age group.
