After a fairly sedentary lifestyle of smoking and very little exercise, at the age of 40, Mark Symes began running. Soon realising that he possessed an ability to run fast, he focussed on the track, and eventually found himself competing in both European and World Masters Championships in the often turbulent 800 and 1500 metre finals. I sat down with Mark at his home in Southern England, to discuss his journey from 40 to now and how great running in later life is something that we can all aspire to.

Winner of English Schools' Woody Jerome sat down with me to talk about his journey after early success whilst still young. We discussed the pressures that can come with achieving so much so quickly and why he still continues with his running when so many peers and friends have dropped away. Woody will be heading to America to train in the coming years, and this was a chance to have a conversation before he leaves England to chase the dream of running in the mountains.
