FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q- People do a lot of things for charity, why did you turn to running?
A- I feel that I'm very fortunate to have the ability to put one foot in front of the other, a gift that most of us take for granted. Running has always been a great way to raise money for a good cause, all you have to do is put one foot in front of the other simple!
Q-Were you always gifted as a runner?
A-No when I was in school I was hopeless and couldn't get around the 2 mile cross country course without stopping . When I joined the Army I was always one of the ones at the back fighting for breath.
Q- Why run in America?
A-I believe that the U.S is a great country, a land of dreams. Don't get me wrong I'm very proud to be British/Welsh and always will be. But for me it was the Americans who gave me the most inspiration and helped me to believe in myself to take on challenges such as this one, and now I want to give something back to them whilst at the same time representing Britain, its a win win for both countries.
Q-You're a personal fitness coach, what advice would you give to people who want to loose a few pounds and are as unfit as you once were?
A-here are some of the things that have worked for me:
1. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY - If you have a situation that needs to be dealt with, first of all admit that the situation exists!
2. VISUALISE - Visualise yourself looking and feeling good, "believe it before you can see it"
3. GOALS - Set long and short term goals
4. FOCUS - Focus on your mission
5. BE PERSISTANT - Its no good starting, stopping, starting, stopping be persistant and consistant I've tried both ways and once you do the latter it becomes a habit which makes it a way of life
6. NEVER GIVE IN - Need I say anymore!
These are some of the main success principles, not just in health / fitness but in all areas of our lives. If you would like to know more click here for self help links
Above all enjoy your life you can be and do anything you wish! its not just for the chosen few, "Its for the few who choose!"
