Despite advancing years, I continue to run competitively, mainly focusing on marathons and half marathons. I train regularly with the Oxford University Cross-Country and Athletics Clubs. In 2014, I captained the university marathon team in the Oxford-Cambridge Varsity race, and was the first Oxford finisher in 2015, 2016, and 2017. I also came second in the Oxfordshire County Marathon Championships in 2016. 

My PBs (all from 2017) are as follows:

Marathon: 2:38.24
Half Marathon: 1:14.42
10k: 34:37
5k: 16:28
Mile: 4:45

My running profile can be found at Powerof10.

I also have a JustGiving page and recently ran the London Marathon to raise funds for Asylum Welcome.

I completed all six Abbott World Marathon Majors during single one-year series ("series XI").
