Biography:
I love to run on all terrains, across fells, hills, mountains, trails, sky and even some road, with a general preference for medium to long distances. I was born in Manchester, brought up in the mud of northern England, studied in Bristol and Grenoble, moved to New Zealand, followed by Scotland and then the south of France, where I’ve been living since 2011. Running has been a great way to discover all these places. As well as running, I enjoy getting outside to ride my mountain, gravel or road bikes, or to fly in the Luberon sky.
