Moving into fifth year


I'm now entering my fifth year of running. I first put on a pair of trainers and set out to run for fun in November 2011 as I prepared for the London Marathon I had entered in 2012. Four years later and I have achieved so much more than I ever imagined.

The last four years have involved:

2 Ultra Marathons
4 Marathons
13 Half Marathons
116 parkruns
5 OCRs
5 pairs of Asics trainers
3000+ miles
28 PBs


The last year has seen my PB's shattered and my long term goals achieved:

A sub 3:30 Marathon             3:24:30         5:30 under
A sub 1:30 Half Marathon     1:28:25         1:35 under
A sub 40 min 10K                     39:37            23 under
A sub 19 minute 5K                  18:27            33 under
A sub 6 minute mile                    5:38            22 under


So what now? The last year has been about me and my goals. Having achieved these I want to start helping others to achieve their own aims. My goals are:

To run an average of 15 miles per week (60 month) throughout the year.
To volunteer monthly at parkrun.
To join Northampton Road Runners.
To enter the cross country league in winter 2016.
To pace people to achieve their PB's.
