How did you get into running? I got into running mainly because my brother entered the Manchester 10k and I didn't want him beating me! After a couple of years of not really knowing what I was doing I joined MileShy and have gone from strength to strength. What is your favourite event and why? I'd have to say the Manchester 10k simply because of the atmosphere! I love seeing people you know in the crowd and running with all the club members who enter. What else do you enjoy doing in your spare time? I like reading and I seem to be doing a lot of work courses these days. I also enjoy learning and socialising and going to the cinema.
