Profile: Now if this guy were to do gymnastics he would certainly score 10 out of 10 every time, with his gazelle-like running action! A sponsored Puma athlete, Mark is no stranger to the world of athletics, what with being ranked as one of the best middle distance athletes in the UK. In 2002 Mark was awarded a full Flora London Marathon Scholarship to study Sport Science at St Mary’s University; the High Performance Centre for endurance running. Here Mark’s running literally took off, with a sub 14minute clocking for 5km (13.57) & a 3.43 timed effort for 1500m! Mark is often referred to as a gentleman off the running track but an animal once on it! As usual that’s Mark at the front of the pack!
