About

Login

I grew up on the athletics track becoming a member of NSP at the age of 9. I was mainly a middle distance runner in my youth running sub 2 minute 800s and also getting very close to 4 minutes for the 1500. I then took a huge career change with my new specialisms becoming University, John Smiths and of course my girlfriend. Obviously during this time the weight ballooned and I completely fell out of love for athletics. I then ended up with quite a settled career teaching and with the evenings now free instead of late night assignments, partying and working part-time I was roped into a few charity races. I then decided enter the 2010 North Tyneside 10k and thinking I was quite fit ran 50 minutes exactly to my horror. I met some of the lads from NSP at the end (Richard Baker) and they said if you are running why don't you come back to the club. That was almost two years to the day and when I run the Blyth 10k this year so you can see for yourself how the return has gone. I am now once again addicted to running. I find myself waking up in cold sweats if I miss training and am now a fully-fledged secret trainer in addition to the 3 club sessions a weekly. I currently average 50 mile a week and can’t imagine my week without those miles in. I train with the legendary Phil Reece and training is always serious but the banter amongst the group and the club is second to none and that includes TBH (Sorry Kenny).
