During these feats and bolt-on events, Andy has raised tens of thousands of pounds in doing so!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A certified VDOT distance running coach Andy is also a Team GB Age Group Duathlete dedicated to his sport and the runners he coaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, he\u2019s training towards 2 World Championships and 2 European Championships in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I get up to by date:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In 2015<\/strong> and with 3 other friends and I raised \u00a39700 for the Paediatric High Dependency Unit,\u00a0Southampton General Hospital<\/a>. We ran 7 marathons in 7 days around various locations in Hampshire and Surrey, barefoot!\u00a0The challenge finished on the 27th of Sept of that year completing over 275km.\u00a0Challenge Website<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2016<\/strong> I worked on breaking my personal best in the marathon which currently stands at 2hrs 59min, this was achieved at the Bournemouth marathon festival last year (2016) in\u00a0Luna<\/a>\u00a0Sandals. Whilst achieving this milestone which was to be my first attempt at a marathon in flip flops, I have now gone on to break personal records in the 5k, 10k and a half marathon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2017<\/strong> was a year of transition due to a few injuries which kept me from running, no problem I’ll start cycling then! Wow, I absolutely loved it, and once I was able to run again, I mixed the two and soon came the Duathlons… Later that year, I was positioned high and qualified to represent GB Age Group Team!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2018<\/strong> has been an incredible year. In March I entered my first Duathlon and came 3rd overall and second in my age group, which enabled me to register my intent to qualify for the\u00a0European<\/a>\u00a0Middle Distance Championships in\u00a0Vejle<\/a>\u00a0Denmark as a Team GB Age Group Athlete. I did, and I went on to compete, and I came 8th in my age cat and 1st GB in age group, so I have now subsequently qualified for this year’s Long Distance World Championships in Zofingen, Switzerland coming 14th in the World in my Cat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2019<\/strong> the year I took the next step in my endurance quest. Running and Riding from Morocco to Southampton in just 10 days. Le Tour Du Cash for Kids<\/a> 10 Duathlons 10 Days 2040km, Run 22km – Ride 160km – Run 22km every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2020<\/strong> as for many became a battle not just in terms of business but finding events to keep focus. During the first lockdown, I trained hard and found solace in improving my FTP and competing in local Time Trials. I achieved this at the Alton 25 miles where I broke the 1hr mark and averaged 357w.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2021<\/strong> and a new focus with challenges nobody would have foreseen. Covid!<\/a> Making everything so much more of an effort, but we must keep going. So it was 2 World and 2 European Championships at standard distance for me and a distance I’m not accustomed to, needed to help me push harder at fast speeds. A top 50 and 17th the world in my age cat was the result and a good building block going forward!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2022<\/strong> well who knows what’s going to happen. As last year I’ve qualified for 4 world and European events for GB in 2 different distances. I going going work hard at being competitive but It’s the year of the BIG event! Le Tour Du – Ultra 25<\/a> a challenge like I’ve never done before x<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
