Men's Fell Captain

I have been running for approx. 17 years, initially running informally with friends building up to the odd 5k/10k road race but then was introduced to trail and fell running which really caught my imagination. A couple of Lostock members took me under their wing taking me running up Winter Hill on a Sunday morning and to my 1st proper fell race which I will never forget. I really enjoy the informal, no frills, easy going attitude of the fell community but also enjoy a bit of healthy competition, midpack, at local fell races. Joining Lostock AC was a natural progression as I enjoyed running with members up Winter Hill and beyond and I have been a member for 15 years.
Fell running is what I do, however I do also run a few club road race events and have in the past competed in a few Sprint Triathlons.
My best achievement todate was finishing the Old County Tops Fell Race back in 2019.
I have been the Mens Fell Captain for the past 6 years and work closely with the Ladies Fell Captain to coordinate the club Fell activities.

Joining Lostock AC has been one of the best things that's ever happened to me. I decided to give it a try mainly to loose weight and meet new people. It's really helped with my weight, mental health and output on life. I've been in the club over a year now. Everyone makes you feel so welcome and I love being part of the Lostock family. My running has definitely improved, especially seeing all the medals I've won. It is not just running, Lostock offers other activities too such as cycling, bootcamp and skiing. All I've had a go at which has just been brilliant. Lostock is my second family . I have entered the Machester marathon next year and an ultra. All this for someone who couldn't run . Everyone has made me feel very welcome in the club, I now consider myself to be a runner and would recommend anyone to give Lostock a try.

I joined Lostock AC to help improve my running and to motivate me to run more often. The club has surpassed my expectations. I am not from Bolton originally and did not have many friends in the area. I now feel part of an extended family. I have been encouraged and supported to run half marathons, marathons and an Ultra. I would never believe this was possible 3 years ago.
