Meet our Junior Coaches...

 

Jenny Wyles

"I am a late starter to running- been a CHAT member for around 6 years. I run at a snails pace so enjoy competing in ultra marathons. I completed the Fellsman in 2009 which is a 62 mile Event run in the Yorkshire Dales and includes many areas of deep bog ( up to hips) without paths where the ability to navigate during the day and night is key. I have also been third lady home in the winter running of the Round Rotherham, a 50 mile Event."

Anna Maria Crabtree

"I have been running since I was 11 years old - About 33 years now! I started as a sprinter (100, 200 400 & relays) and then moved to longer distances after having children and discovering the beautiful fells around here.  I have been a member of Chorley Harriers for about 10 years now. (Previously I was a member of Crawley Athletic Club). My best performance is still to come (don't write an old woman off) but the most satisfying for me was the first 3 Peaks race I did in 2006."
