Who are we?
 Jamie Hadwin Favourite distance: Marathon Favourite events: Budapest Marathon Favourite Shoe: Saucony Kinvara 11 Advice: Be patient, be patient, be patient. Take each training, each recovery day and each event at a time. I started running competitively back in 2016 when I took on my first 10 miler. Dressed in swim shorts, flat trainers and surgical stockings I ran as fast as I could….and that day I caught the running bug. Since then I’ve got onto run many half’s, marathons, ultra marathons, triathlons etc. But my main passion now is coaching and making sure that every member of JH Running Club gets 100% out of every session and every event. |  Jamie Hill Favourite distance: Half Marathon Favourite events: Weymouth Half Favourite Shoe: Nike Vaporfly Advice: Give 100% in everything and anything is possible. I started running 2021, that year I did Brighton marathon just hoping to get round, now completing at a high level in marathons, half marathon and sprint triathlons and also a GB age group athlete in duathlons. |
 Beverley Heath Favourite distance: marathon Favourite event: Brighton marathon Favourite shoe: Adidas adizero Pro 2 Advice: Be consistent I’ve been running for just over 2 years, I’ve also completed a couple of sprint tri, classic and aquathlon and had a few attempts at trail running but have decided that road running is more enjoyable for me. I completed Brighton and London marathon in 2023 plus quite a few half marathons and I’m training for Brighton again this year plus I got a place in Berlin marathon in September 2024. |  Matthew Lam Favourite distance: Marathon Favourite event: Too tough to chose – London / Chicago / Berlin Marathons Favourite shoe: Nike Vaporfly Advice: Comparison is the thief of Joy, just be the best version of you. Stay patient, stay consistent, trust the process.. and most importantly.. ENJOY it My running journey began in 2017. I was overweight & not feeling good in myself, so I initially started running purely to try & shift some weight, but for some unknown reason I wasn’t able to find any real motivation to stick at it & had given up by 2018 after managing 1 Half Marathon. After sinking back into bad routines, I watched the 2019 London Marathon on TV & was instantly inspired to take up running once again, from that day forward I have never looked back. I have now ran 6 Marathons including 3 World Major Races in London, Berlin & Chicago. I will be taking on my 7th & 8th Marathons this year when I take on the Paris & London Marathons 2024. I have also ran multiple Half Marathons & 2 Ultra Marathons, completing both 50k & 100k distances. Running has in many ways saved my life & I am now enjoying being able to give something back to the sport in my own little way |
 Louise Bell Favourite distance- Difficult- 1/2 or full marathon? Probably the marathon. Favourite event : London Marathon. Favourite shoe : Saucony endorphin pro. One piece of advice – Let others inspire you but let your motivation come from within. |
