Royton Road Runners

BIRTHDAY: 20th February

FIRST CLAIM CLUB: Royton Road Runners

FAVOURITE RACE: Mersey Tunnel 10K.

TOUGHEST RACE: Pudsey 10K - most runners walked at least one of the hills.

FAVOURITE TRAINING RUN: Any of those glorious summer evenings with the club, or Tandle Hill on me tod.

MOST MEMORABLE/PROUDEST RUNNING MOMENT: My time in my first ever race, the Mersey Tunnel 10K in 2007, even though I've bettered it in every 10K since, apart from the Pudsey 10K (which doesn't count, see above). 

FUNNIEST/MOST EMBARRASSING RUNNING MOMENT: Ah emm, I think we should move swiftly on...much like I did after the moment in question.

FAVOURITE PRE-RACE MEAL: P.E.P. every time - Performance Enhancing Porridge. 3 hours before the race, with banana & maple syrup. Had it cold on the coach to Keswick.

PRE-RACE SUPERSTITIONS: None, but I do go a bit OCD about getting my laces just right. 

RUNNING AMBITIONS: Keep my ankle injury-free long enough to complete a marathon.

IF YOU WEREN'T A RUNNER, WHAT WOULD YOU BE? A misery guts.

TELL US SOMETHING NOBODY IN THE CLUB KNOWS ABOUT YOU: I'm roughly 59,000,000th in line for the throne.
