Coach Profile: David Moir

I am a Founder member of Tyne Bridge Harriers and have been running since 2003. I tend to focus on the longer races, targeting a couple of marathons a year, but my favorite discipline is definitely cross country. I have recently (Sept 18) set up the Racing Group at TBH juniors, in order to encourage …

Coach Profile: Morag Kerry

I started running 23 years ago mainly to get one hours peace each day from my small children. I have been running with TBH (my first running club) for the past 5 years. I enjoy running longer distances and events that are a little bit different. My best ever day running was during my only …

I started running at junior school and used to really love cross country.  Unfortunately at senior school girls weren’t allowed to do cross country, which was very annoying as I had to go and watch my two big brothers run instead. I didn’t take up running again until the age of 30, after I had …

We went for our first run together …

Coach Profile: Paul O’Mara

I started running when I was 14 for the school cross-country team and my local athletics club, which at the time was down south. Between the ages of 15 – 21 I raced regularly at different distances, up to half marathon distance, but then in my early 20’s I picked up a serious foot injury …

Coach Profile: Kathryn Stevenson

I was never a regular runner. I would enter an odd race with a friend and we would always start the race and cross the finish line together. I didn’t know I would be given an actual placing and official time! That all changed when I joined Tyne Bridge Harriers in 2014. I started in …
