My philosophy...

'The road to success is a painful journey through the Wilderness with various obstacles man has to overcome. The journey has its ups and downs, its highs and lows, but man will rise victorious eventually. The human body is designed to deal with everything you throw at it; never give up fighting and you will never lose the fight.'



Aims and aspirations

At the start of every season, I set myself certain goals, both short term and longer term. Many people just do longer term goals, aiming for a result in an overall championship, or a time on the track. I'm going to set myself goals for individual races however, which gives me another reason to fight it down to the line.
The short term goals at the moment are:
  • Progressivley improve in training to show I am getting stronger for the upcoming racing season. Regularly check results to monitor progress.
  • Make the top 3 at Coniston and be within 15 seconds of the winner. at the turning point
  • Focus on core work as this is very important in Fell Running.
  • Get a good time for a 10k - comfortably sub 40 minutes.
Long term goals:
  • Make the top 3 at least, overall in BOFRA.
  • Make the top 5 at English Schools Fell Champs in September.
  • Maintain the 35 miles per week where possible and even try and build up to 40.
