| Running Category (M/F, Vet, super vet etc) | Male | Male 50 - Supervet |
| Why you run - such as: competition, general fitness, lose weight? | I enjoy the challenge and having time to zone out | Trying to stay on top of my weight - but failing! |
| How many years since you started running? | 3 years, wish I had started sooner | About 3 years ago. Most I'd done before that was a couple of miles - again to keep the weight down |
| Favourite race? | Alloa Half and Scottish Half | Not sure that I have one yet! Tried to do most GP races this year and have enjoyed the variety. If pushed maybe the Knockhill circuit. I've done that a couple of times |
| Favourite race distance? | Half Marathon | Probably 10k, though I've never come across an easy race yet! |
| Favourite training route/session? | Hill training | King of the hill - as much as you can tailor this to your own level, putting in as much effort as you want |
| Greatest running achievement? | Finishing the Stirling Marathon | Did the Stirling Marathon this year, but legs gave out after about 18 miles so did more walking than running after that point. Going to give it another go in 2019 |
| Where would you like to go on holiday? | France | Love Rome and last time I was there took my running shoes, so started a couple of days with a jog past some fantastic sights |
| Other interests/hobbies apart from running? | Body Combat and DIY | Keen squash player though slowing down now |
| Who would you like to run with? dead or alive | Ayrton Senna
| Was really impressed to know that a couple of WCH ran the West Highland Way - that's a fantastic feat. And the people are normal, so maybe one day it might be possible to do the same |
| What's the best thing about running with the Wee County Harriers? | They are supportive, social and enthusiastic | Just knowing that if I turn up there will be someone to run with - no pressure, just a warm welcome |
