FAVOURITE ROUTE
I love the Yorkshire Three Peaks route but it doesn’t seem to like me!! Local trails, Baildon Moor & Ilkley Moor.
FAVOURITE RACE
I’ve raced in so many beautiful races across the world but my favourites are Smara Gora in Slovenia, Castle Mountain race in Arco, Italy and Jungfrau marathon, Switzerland.
FAVOURITE KIT
OMM Wisp Jacket & Pants – So impressed at how small they pack.
OMM Trail Shoes. I’ve struggled finding an all round mileage and race shoe where the upper lasts longer than the grip. I’ve currently put 250+ miles into my first pair and both are still going strong.
PROUDEST MOMENTS
- 2013 – Individual silver medal at the World Mountain Running Championships in Poland.
- 2015 – Individual bronze medal at the European Mountain Running Championships in Madeira.
- 2015 – Individual bronze medal at the World Mountain Running Championships in Wales.
WHAT'S NEXT
Yorkshireman Marathon in September.

Why I run:
Running has been a huge part of my life for 26 years and so whilst I run because it offers a sense of normality, there are two main reasons why I continue to do it. Firstly, I enjoy the feeling of enduring painful sessions and races. Secondly, running offers me a space to mentally unwind and decompress. I rarely run with music, unless for an occasional big session but definitely not for an easy run. That time is just for me and the trails.
Alot can be said for the physical and mental benefits of running.
