Royton Road Runners

Dave Kershaw

BIRTHDAY: 21st May

FIRST CLAIM CLUB: Royton Road Runners

FAVOURITE RACE: Snowdonia Marathon & Chester Half Marathon.

TOUGHEST RACE: Oldham Half Marathon.

FAVOURITE TRAINING RUN: Off road training runs in the summer.

MOST MEMORABLE/PROUDEST RUNNING MOMENT: It was probably when I finished the Great North Run. I had only just started running and having watched it for years on TV it was a great feeling to be part of it and finish. 

FUNNIEST/MOST EMBARRASSING RUNNING MOMENT: Nothing funny I'm afraid, I do find it slightly embarrassing though that after running with the club for several years I still haven't a clue where we are and where we are going half the time.

FAVOURITE PRE-RACE MEAL: Porridge.

PRE-RACE SUPERSTITIONS: Having at least 10 puffs on my inhaler. 

RUNNING AMBITIONS: To stay fit, do lots of marathons and keep enjoying it. A sub-three hours marathon would be nice.

IF YOU WEREN'T A RUNNER, WHAT WOULD YOU BE? A very unfit asthmatic.

TELL US SOMETHING NOBODY IN THE CLUB KNOWS ABOUT YOU: My sister used to run for England.
