Hi my name’s Dougie and I’ve been running for the past four years now and in that time I’ve completed over two dozen half marathons, including The Great North Run four times; once virtually.
I recently completed in The Badwater 267 Virtual Race, where I had to run 267 miles in 31 days in January and now for the last 5 months I’ve also been training for my own full marathon, which I plan to do before I turn 25 on 30th of March 2021; where I’ll be running on the trails where I live in Hertfordshire.
I’ve always loved the outdoors and long before I was a runner I was an avid rock climber and hiker as part of a mountaineering club. I really enjoy camping and generally being out in the great outdoors, especially here in the UK where there is an abundance of trails, scrambling, hiking and mountains to enjoy.
