Too early in my running life to really know. Too late in my actual life to possibly ever find out. I'd say 10 miles/ HM 4. Tayto Cheese and Onion 5. I love it. Don't understand the brown version though!! Sacrilege!!! 6. Definitely. David Byrne....such a strange genius 7. Both from the wrong side of the river to be any good at all. I'll go for Crusaders as the least worst. 8. Family come first...I'd love for him to make it at senior level eventually 9. Big problems with this one...still haven't found them.

Score the winning point for the Dubs in the last minute of the All Ireland against Kerry? Score the winning goal in the FA Cup Final for United against Liverpool. Win the Tour De France....or Olympic Gold over 10k? 2. Long run; breakfast or run on empty? 3. Is coffee a necessity to get things "moving"before your long run? 4. Big events or more club orientated smaller events? 5. If you had to run the infamous beer mile would you be brave enough to have Guinness as you chosen beverage? 6. Mostly running or a mix of running; stretching and S&C? 7. Major differences in fitness between cycling and running? Does being fit for running transfer to cycling and vice versa? 8. Long term plans? Cheers C

Do you have other hobbies past or present that you have approached and succeeded at in a similar way? 2. I remember a few times running with you and observing that you had an incredibly sharp understanding of the numbers, in terms of pace and expected time. Was this honed during your cycling days or are you generally good with numbers? 3. What's the largest animal you could throw over a crossbar? 4. How are you so bleedin good at figuring out who's who on Strava?
