Apex Sports, Paddington - About us....
Gareth Lloyd Has competed in every distance from 800M (2:03.3) to the marathon (3:20) but prefers road racing 5km (15:53) and 10km (32:55) . Runs most mornings in either Hyde Park or the Primrose Hill / Regents Park area and is quite frankly just too busy to get back to running the above times. His recent races over the summer include the City V City 10km in Greenwich Park in June and his 42:54 was quite pleasing. Afterwards he said "Has Greenwich Park always been that hilly?" Scientific studies by experts say yes. Very tempted to start proper training for a Spring 2008 Half Marathon because his friend Andy now has a quicker PB from the recent Bristol Half - "I'm really pleased for him" said Gareth.
Nicola Ellis Prefers to be called Nicky so lets not be too formal. She has a sports background that includes Swimming and Netball both to a competitive level, but it's the 5km and 10km road racing distances that are her main focus right now. Will begin training with 'the gang' at Brunel University soon to help her increase the intensity after clocking up some steady mileage over the Summer. Nicky is all too aware of what runners look like at the end of a marathon after 2 years marshalling at London on Birdcage Walk. Oh and don't ask about Dublin.
