I’m 37, I have a partner – Laura, and a daughter. I’m one of the directors of a small bespoke software development company called Jemmac Software. I’ve been running fairly slowly for a few years. I don’t typically enter races, in the past I’ve taken part in one 10K race (50mins) and one short sprint Triathlon (1hr 22mins).

As of today,

  • I run about 15-25 miles per week.
  • I usually run about 9 minute miles.
  • Every year (seemingly) my left knee conks out
  • I bike a few miles each week (usually to and from the pub quiz) for leisure
  • I don’t have a proper ‘race’ bike
  • The furthest I’ve swum recently is about 800m. My technique is currently “trying not to drown”.

More info will follow – but hopefully this sets the scene.
