Asda Athletes

Its been a fab summer for sport, great watching amazing performances from our Athlete’s in both the Olympics and Paralympics.(Great Inspiration)

I have quite a good summer of training and racing. Back in April got to meet to Kelly Holmes in Portugal. Got PB in a 10 mile road race (1 hour 45 secs) and PB over 3000 metres on the track. Last Saturday(22nd Sept) took part in the Northern Road relays, had a good time,got to be Captain for the day! good experience to part of a relay team.

As the track season has know finished focus tends to switch to the long distance and races. Hoping to take part in the Great Cumbrian Half Marathon Run next weekend. (my first Half Marathon in 8 years)

Thank you Sport Aid and Asda for supporting me along the way.

I was recently selected for the Asda & Sportaid funding programme which I am very thankful to them for the award and been part of the there team.

I had a wonderful time at the workshop in Manchester, it was great listening to Louise Ellis who talked about Sports psychology and Darren Campbell who talked about his career and dealing with pressure.

Track season is just around the corner. As part of my training am going with Kendal AAC to Portugal(Saturday) for warm weather training.

Am really looking forward to getting some quality training in. I’ll also get to feel like a professional Athlete.(which is always great for confidence)
