Running

I started running when i was about 16 years old to keep fit whilst studying for exams and to lose some weight.

For more info, see my running personal bests and a list of all the marathons i have run (also see how i count marathons).

Over the last few years i have put a lot of effort into various grassroots voluntary efforts to help other runners – eg running a website, organising races etc - see complete list here - however i still have run at least one or more marathons (or longer) every calendar year since 1990. yeah i am quite proud of that!

These days i still run a fair amount usually 3 to 4 times per week, although I definitely prefer bush running, and don’t really care about running many races or even with a club.

You can see some photos of me running here.

My running achievements

I think that my best achievements are:

• My City to Surf time, Half Marathon and Marathon time
• I was picked to run for Australia (once!) and competed in the 100km team in Canada
• I came 8th and 9th in the Six Foot Track Marathon
• I ran a good distance in 24hrs (176km)
• I once ran three 80km races in 4 weeks
