Story
- Two years ago I literally couldn’t run 20 yards and was so unfit my wee boys, Finlay and Harvey, put me in goals when we played park football as I couldn’t even run to get the ball.
- Inspired by a Facebook ad for Eskbank Rubbish Runners Club I went along one cold wet night in February 2018 and thought maybe I can do this. Inspired by my eldest son Calum running the Paris Marathon not long after, my daughter Hannah and I put in several months hard training and ran the Aberdeen half Marathon together in the August 2018.
- Well, here I am!! Snedds - the non drinking, non-smoking, non-sweety eating marathon runner has emerged.
- I’ve still got 1 tough months of training to go folks. I’ve hit the gym and run miles every week as i so want to do this and do it well.
- I’m not going for a time as it’s important to finish it and be alive at the end!! Many of my friends have said you’ll never do it/ it’ll kill you.... well watch me go. This will be my greatest ever personal achievement...ever!!!!
