How did you get into the sport? It all started with a 5k parkruns with my son, then progressed to road running & then ultimately Ultra marathons...

Hardest thing about your sport? Finding the time to balance training with family commitments

What does your regular training week consist of? I generally run 5-6 times per week, which will usually consist of a hill session, a interval session, a long run & a couple of easy runs.

How do you keep motivated? I generally keep motivated by always being signed up to a few races & to push myself to always try better previous results/PB's.

Goals (Future Plans and Career Expectations) Keep trying to be competitive in ultra running space & have another go at a backyard ultra to imporve on my current PB.  

Best Piece of Advice you have received? I love the 'Running is like a jigsaw' analogy -  You don’t build the whole picture in one day. You just keep putting the pieces in place — one run, one workout, one recovery day at a time & eventually it will all come together.
