Stephen Pond - Men's Captain
e-mail: menscaptain@pettswoodrunners.org
Stephen joined PWR in October 2015 having just run his 6th marathon with the sole intention of trying to run quicker marathons.
He achieved this in his next few marathons and also recently ran his first sub 3 hour marathon at London 2017. This was a level he thought was unachievable.
He now wonders how much lower he can go with the help and love of everyone at PWR.

For making vexatious teach-grandma-to-suck-eggs rules about everything, demanding risk assessments from all and sundry, spoiling everybody's enjoyment and being a right pain in the backside. So it comes pretty naturally.
