Name:  Chris Humble
Age : 28

Favourite pre race food - peanut butter on toast for breakfast and then a power bar and banana an hour before the race.

Favourite post race food - SIS rego shake as soon as i can after finishing then a Sunday roast always makes a cross country or winter long race worthwhile!

Best race - Time wise: Great Manchester Run 2013 where i went under 40 mins for 10k for the first time. Haweswater 1/2 marathon 2014 when i dipped under 1hour 30 minutes. For experience:  the Great North Run 2008, i wasn't a serious runner back then but i enjoyed every step, a great event.

Worst race - Blackpool Hilton half 2013, put too much pressure on myself to get under 1hour 30, went out too fast and ended up crawling from mile 7 to the end!

Something you don't know about me - came 3rd in Northumberland county at 1500m for under 13's, my pb at that distance (from when i was 13!) is 5:04

Claim to fame - ran in the same race meeting as Mo Farah when we were teens, my school qualified for national cross country championships and he was in the age range above me. There was a big buzz even then about how good he was!
