I started running in 2007 after signing up for the 5K Chelmsford Race for Business and turning up after doing no training. I got round and gained two MASSIVE blisters that prevented walking for about three weeks. The running bug got me and I signed up to the Hastings Half Marathon the following March as part of a family bet. Now it seemed that some training had to be completed. I though if I was bothering to train for a half, I may as well do a full marathon. So i got a RNLI charity place for the 2008 London Marathon. Its one of the best experiences of my life... Since then I've completed many events and run with some amazing people after starting Soul Runners in 2018.
