Profile: Steve can turn his athletic ability to all sorts of running disciplines, with championship success on the country, mountain running and on the track. He was 4km cross-country national champion in 2003 and 2005, and backed this up with a fine 44th place at the World Cross Country Championship short course in 2003. Ironically, Steve is known as the turtle, and this isn’t just because he is more at home on the slower, energy-sapping courses, but because he has a six-pack to make any man weep in shame. Steve has a vast experience of elite training squads, with stints at Loughborough, Butler University in the US, and more recently, St. Mary’s. He also has a wealth of knowledge regarding health and fitness training and stacks of qualifications, including a sport science degree and a Masters in a similar field,
