I have been running for most of my life, starting at school, then taking part in over 50 races from 5K, 10K, Half Marathons and 4 Marathons. I completed my last Marathon in Florida, USA in 3:36 in 1999, 3yrs later I ruptured my Achilles and stopped running for 20 years.  Although not as fast, I still enjoy it. I don’t do as many races now, so spend time taking photos of the other runners and cheering them on. With many years of running, I hope I can part my knowledge onto beginners.

I completed my last Marathon in Florida, USA in 3:36:40 in 1999, 3yrs later I ruptured my Achilles and stopped running for 20 years.  Although I’m no longer as fast, I still enjoy it.
