Running has always been an important part of my life. I have 40 years of personal running experience ranging from Track Club Athletics as a young person to Road Running Clubs as an adult. I have competed in Track meetings, Road Races, Trail Races and X-Country competition and continue to do so. I have completed 6 marathons with my best time being 3 hours 28 minutes. I coach Middle Distance and Endurance at Braintree & District AC. I lead & coach the Takeley Running Group and give one to one personal sessions. I have worked with Sports Partnership Programme in Essex to deliver Multi-Skills, X-C & Middle Distance running to Primary & Secondary Schools. With the support of England Athletics I introduce & deliver athletic skills to schools. Running continues to be my passion and I thoroughly enjoy all aspects of it.
