How long have you been running?

Since 2004 (which makes me feel a bit old 😱)

What is your favourite surface? 

Has to be tarmac, I do like trail but not the mud! (Sorry Richard 😂)

How did you start running?

I was lucky enough to grow up in an active family. Both my parents ran around the Ogmore Valley but I thought they were mad and swam instead. After the birth of my first child I still wanted to exercise but struggled to fit it in.  I soon realised that I could get up, go for a run and be done in half hour so this started my love of running.

My first run was the race for life, but my proudest moment was the London Marathon in 2015 which was a family ambition.

Any messages for newcomers? 

Anything is possible and you can achieve whatever you set your mind to. The club will support you no matter what your goal.
