"Today I ran another 50k. It just happened to be the world 50k championships in India. Bronze medal, team gold and a PB - I couldn’t be more proud to have my first GB vest and perform well for the team. Massive thanks to David Leach, Northern (Isle of Man) Athletic Club, British Athletics, Isle of Man Sport, Isle of Man Sport Aid, Isle of Man Athletics and my long suffering family and friends for putting up with me!"
