Name: | Maxine Bateman |
Age or Running Category: | 28 |
How long have you been running? | About 5 years |
Why do you run? | I like the social aspect, the challenging myself part and also I can’t sit still so running is a good way to use my excess energy! Plus I feel I can eat more cake now too. |
Describe your favourite run: | Any run where I have enjoyed myself, even if at the time it wasn’t fun. Looking back I would smile at most of the runs. |
Do you take part in races? If so what distance/terrain? | I love to race as I am rubbish at sticking to a training schedule. I race not to win but to have fun and beat myself. |
What is your greatest running achievement? | My first half marathon in 2010 was incredible and more recently the PB’s at the Weston Prom race series |
How long have you been a member of Cheddar Running Club? | 1 year – since I moved to the area. |
Why did you join Cheddar Running Club? | To keep me running when I moved from Hertfordshire. I joined the club on my 2nd ever day here and it was the best thing I did |
How has Cheddar Running Club helped you and your running? | This year I have gotten quicker with regular training and it’s given me more friends in the Cheddar area. |
What would you say to anyone thinking of joining the club? | Come along and say hello – you won’t be able to resist joining once you meet us. |
