Q: What got you into running

Q: Why trailblazers
A: We started The Trailblazers to build awareness for The Olive Tree Cancer Support Centre and also help Cancel patients to get outside and keep fit,
Q: What gets you motivated to go out for a run
A:I like seeing others fall in love with running, motivating them and seeing people achieve what they think they can’t….
Q: Why your running number
A: Running number is 1 as Will, Eddie and myself started The Trailblazers so number 1 was the beginning…
Q: What’s your biggest running achievements
A:Biggest running achievement is running The Brighton Marathon. We started together and finished together with Eddie, Will, Sam and Antony… And raising over 10k for The Olive Tree. Very proud of that! The training did take over our lives though…
Q: What type of runner are you (fast/slow/streets/trail)
A: Medium level running, neither fast or slow was around 10min mile…
Q: Are you an old school or gadget runner
A: Shocking with technology so not bothered bu I like to have a target mileage… I have a Fitbit to record runs and steps and I am happy with that. I use Strava to record runs as well.
