How often do you bother to go training? Monday, Tuesday and Thursday in the summer and usually Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday (gym) and Thursday in the winter, with some Saturdays.
What is your favourite training run? Anything short really. I mainly run the 400m and 800m and I train with Penny Forse so I rarely do long runs. When i was younger and trained at Crofton, I used to like the Peel Common run the most.

And what was your worst or most embarrassing race? My worst moment has to be going to Parliament Hill in London and forgetting my spikes, and slipping up at every corner.
Do you have a pre-race ritual? A few laps, sit down, maybe another one, then I start my stretches and drills.
What is the best piece of gear you have bought? That has got to be my spikes.
Worst piece of gear? Nike shox.. it's like wearing bricks.
Why do you run when you could be sat at home watching EastEnders? EastEnders... isnt that for women?!!?!
What does she/he who must be obeyed think about your running? Well that's my mum at the moment..lol.. She gets a bit annoyed because training takes place in the middle of dinner usually and my ex said it took too much of my time!
What is the one piece of advice you would give to any new runner? Train!
