Callum been running since 2012. He started running while playing for a local football team to improve his fitness and chance of playing. After spending 6 weeks on the bench playing just over 5 min, enough was enough. His concentration then shifted to running.
He joined Hyde Village Striders in October 2012. Running times had improved while at Striders, as he joined a complete novice. While at Hyde Village Striders he completed a LiRF course as there was no one in the club encouraging speed sessions. He ran the sessions while injured for just less than a year. From feedback, these were a great success and runners achieved some dramatic PBs for those who joined in the sessions. This was rewarding as he was able to give something back to the club and runners.
Callum left Hyde Village Striders for Salford Harriers in 2019. Then in late 2021, Callum joined East Cheshire Harriers, and he has been able to improve his times again with a structure of training, knowledge of training types as well as chasing some great runners in training.
