I got into running August 2017 when Rachel came home with an airbrained idea of doing a Couch to 5k.
With her idea in mind and the expectation of it being a fad, I said “great idea, I’ll come and support you”. So I suppose I started running purely by accident.
What has been your favourite race or racing memory so far?
It has to be the London Marathon again another accidental entry resulting in doing something I never thought possible.
The opportunity to experience the event with my bestie and represent this fantastic running club.
What advice would you give a new runner?
Do you and don’t compare to others
What’s your proudest running achievement?
I did a 5k dressed as a Turkey- I won best in show
What running kit do you use?
Other than shoes, gloves
What one thing should people know about you?
Not much to tell- I do however identify as Geoff.
When I’ve finished the marathon, I’m pressing the reset button and starting over again- that’ll mean new shoes 😃

Poo
