- Member of Essington Harriers since 2020
- Committee Member: Men’s Captain
I’ve been running on and off since I was a kid, mainly running with my dad who was in the fire service.
Really got back into it properly in 2017 when I randomly got offered a place in the GNR. I Was running on my own regularly until the pandemic hit and I decided to try joining a running club as my job had gone from being quite social to essentially sitting behind a desk all day at home on my own.
I did a trial run at Essington and It’s fair to say it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made and it really helped me through a low period as I’m quite a sociable person.
