Setting up a new blog to chart my rise to stardom in the athletics world!

Ha yeah right..
I'm actualy going to be posting about how my training/racing is going over the next 3 years, where i'm hoping to hit the Vets(40+) age group category in 2015 in the shape of my life.

I've always competed in cycling and running events but never actualy sat down and thought if i could actualy get some good results....Until now

The fact is, i could have been a decent athlete and indeed i competed in the welsh schools 4x400 relay squad at an international match in 1991 when i was 16.. It was all downhill from there i'm afraid as i found alcohol and women! Probably in that order.

So here i am sat at my desk and cramping up after a run into work and a weeks hard training behind me dreaming of finding my form again.

I'm currently training for the Chester Half Marathon on May 13th which will be my longest distance race ever but is something i am keen to build on as ultimately i'm intending to race Ultra's on foot and the odd long distance stuff on 2 wheels, on and offroad.

Check back regularly for updates on my training, racing and general life stuff..

Take it easy.....

MICHAEL.
