I used to be over 17 stone after a few years of my weight going up and down, I decided to enter the Chippeham Half Marathon in 2009 as a target to keep consistency in my training. I joined the Chippenham Harriers to help with my training and fell in love with the club. Not only did I discover a love for running but I made numerous good friends. I have largely kept the weight off and have now completed over 15 marathons and 3 Ironmans. I am a former chairman of the club, and now serve on the Committee. I am a qualified Coach in Running Fitneess.
