Favourite race (and why)

Reading half and London marathon

My pet hate in running...

Races that don't make the distance that they promote eg. 12.9miles on a 13.1 half marathon

What I love most about running...

The freedom in training esppecially when on holiday. All race days though are hard to beat.

My best piece of running advice...

Start slow and then pick up the pace. Mix it up when training.

Why you should follow me as a pacer...

My wife ran in the Manchester marathon this year. I saw a pacer running at the 4 hour pace, he stopped at 50 yards from the end and clapped his fellow runners over the line. I want to give that support and help to others. It was inspiring stuff. I also just completed the London Marathon after sticking to strict game plan to achieve a sub 3.30 after spraining my ankle only 4 weeks before.

No one knows that I...

Would one day love to run the Comrades Ultra in South Africa
