 Crack 4:15 in the mile and 68 in the half. Maybe a marathon OTQ in the next 10 years? Hope I don't jinx it.

It’s fun

Describe your best marathon memory.

 

In my first and only marathon I hit a wall at mile 23. I was saved by a kind man who gave me two of his gels as he passed by.

Why do you pace?

 

 I enjoy running with others and supporting others on their journeys. People put in so much time training and pacing helps everyone execute right on their race day. 

Tell us your best pacing experience.

 

I was part of the pacing team for double Paralympic gold medallist Richard Whitehead MBE when he set a new Guinness WR for a marathon by a double amputee at the 2024 Chicago Marathon in 2:41:36.
