Why Orchard Eagles Running Club?
I love The Eagles as everyone is just as bonkers as me!
Why did you start running?
I started running 5 years ago. I just wanted to run 5k without stopping so did Couch to 5k…. now I’m running ultras!
What is your proudest running achievement?
Well, I think my proudest running achievement would have to be my very first ultra: St. Cuthbert’s Way.
Tell us a memorable moment from your running history
I once ran a marathon and displaced my SI joint in my pelvis and unbelievably I still managed to finish the race. It was the worst pain imaginable but I thought I had just pulled it. It wasn’t until I saw a physio a month later that I was made aware of what had actually happened! Oh, and I was once chained to two other runners (Sean and Pete) when we took part in Escape from Meriden!
Tell us some interesting facts about yourself
I love Irregular Choice shoes and have a crazy obsession with Tikiboo. I used to nick off PE as a child … now I pay to do stupid races. I have two cats: Ariel and Eric.
What’s your day job?
I’m a critical care nurse.
Do you have any other hobbies besides running?
Paddle boarding.
What’s your favourite quote?
That’s not a hill…. that’s a mountain of opportunity.
