My Running Story: Ian Sutcliffe

3/2/2020

 
PictureIan Sutcliffe
My first runs started with the Sunday Times Fun runs around Hyde Park in the early 80’s. I then started to train a lot more and completed the Luton 1/2 Marathon in 1984.  This encouraged me to participate in more races and then in 1986 I responded to a request by John Atkinson in the local paper to try and form a running club. This is now North Herts Road Runners (see the club’s full club history here).

Joining the club helped me improve my overall ability to run better.  I ran in our very first Cross Country league when we were nearly always at the bottom but improved as the years went on.  Apart from running races at all distances, my highlights would have been the London Marathon in 1990 and 1993 both below the 4-hour mark and also the Great North Run.
​
I still enjoy races from 5k through to 10k and also the Midweek League, but not so much the XC now.  After all these years it’s been great to see our club grow to the strength we are now. Hopefully I will be able to continue running or be part of our fantastic club for years to come.
