Runner Q&A

Martin Hollamby

What are your current goals/objectives?
The ONER – 82 mile run in 24 hrs.
Do you have a favourite event/distance?
Not particularly although I seem to run around 10k quite often in races.
What is your PB for that event/distance?
10k PB is just over 6 min/mile = 37 min 13 sec I think
Do you have a preferred training session?
Structured runs of course 😉 I also like long runs.
What is your favourite post-run treat?
Choose any from curry, pizza, burgers, sausages, beans, bacon, chocolate, sponge pudding. I like to eat!
Describe your best running moment.
Probably 2:58 in Abingdon marathon as I trained specifically for sub 3 and got what I wanted.
Describe your worst running moment.
Being dnf-ed in an ultra marathon for missing a harsh cut-off by around 2 mins. We’d have definitely finished within the time limit!
Most memorable / funniest Peel moment?
Anything to do with the Washlands Relays. I love the camaraderie at that event (and am hoping that the new XC races will be similar).
What is you best piece of running advice?
Don’t increase mileage/intensity too quickly! You’ll pay for it in injuries.

Describe your worst running moment.
Hinckley Half – my first attempt and I was over dressed and carrying food and drink – a learning curve!

Gotta love the beer runs!
What is you best piece of running advice?
Set goals that you feel are beyond what you’re capable of.
