What would you say to someone thinking of joining?

JUST DO IT! You won’t regret it for a second. The limits you can push yourself to when you have others around you are incredible. I had never run further than 10Kilometres before joining, and now I do that weekly & have booked myself into the Manchester Marathon next year.

What first got you into running?

Originally, it was Cross Country during school, always found myself being asked to go and would always enjoy it!

What made you join Carn Runners?

I had a few years out of running after finishing school, and work life took over, so I decided to find a friendly club that I could join to enjoy going out to run even in horrible weather.

What do you enjoy most about being part of the club?

The fact how normal it makes me feel, everyone in my life who doesn’t run calls me mental for doing what I do, but it’s nice to come to a place where people are just as sane as I am.

Have you taken part in any races or events through the club?

I’ve done multiple GP races since the start of the season. I especially enjoyed Trevithick 12K, which was my first race for the club, as well as Newquay 10K & Falmouth Half (My first half marathon)

How has being part of Carn Runners impacted your running or life in general?

Carn Runners has made me a better runner. When I run by myself, I always go too fast or find myself getting bored with my own company after a while. Running every week with the club gives me the chance to run at my choice of speed & distance with a great group of people who I can chat to throughout the session. Unless there’s a hill…

Favourite local running route or session?

I like to run around the Portreath area & my favourite sessions are speed sessions.

Trainers of choice?
