PROFILE: “I started running to keep fit in the 1980′s and first did the London Marathon way back in 1988. After that I dipped in and out of the sport until I joined the club in 2001 at the same time as Tim Mac as we both trained together for the 2002 London Marathon, which unfortunately I had to drop out of due to injury. A few years of frustrating injuries then followed before I finally completed a London Marathon in 2006, and since joining the committee in 2007 I haven’t looked back and I am still hoping I can squeeze a few more seconds off various PB’s before Father Time tells me it is time to slow down. Outside running I am a Management Accountant working for Royal Mail and I have a 14 year old son Tom who steadfastly refuses to take any interest in his Dad’s hobby, but in the future who knows. I am also a massive rock music fan who enjoys going to gigs and it is good to have found like minded individuals at the club.”

EMAIL: press@suttonrunners.org

PROFILE: “I smoked over 20 cigarettes a day one time and promised myself, if I gave them up, I would take up jogging as a sort of alternative. I didn’t really believe I would manage either. After a few aborted attempts I bet someone 50 pence I would give them up and haven’t had a cigarette for 27 years. I haven’t stopped running either. It has been a great friend to me and I have met many different types of people over the years and had some great running battles with them !”
