Alan Whelan

I originally started running at school, then joined Horwich RMI Harriers. This led me from XC to Fell, competing and winning a few of the then Junior Races.

I have been training more regularly since joining TRC about 2 years ago, deciding to join TRC on the basis of they had a Fell section on the web site! From getting dragged round in the early days by the 'faster' group I have steadily improved and can now at least hold my own. I still like the fells more than any other running but have decided to add road work for speed this year.

Let’s see what the next 12 months bring.
