I was absolutely delighted to break the World Record for the 200m T42 at the Diamond League meet on Saturday! My time was a 25.69, beating the old record by just under three tenths of a second.
I’ve been training really hard with my track coach, Keith Anton, and all our work on ‘phasing’ my race [...]

Through this year’s Lloyds TSB National School Sport Week we’ve inspired over 4 million children to try more Olympic and Paralympic sports and achieve their personal best. Between 27 June and 1 July 2011, schools across the country took part in Britain’s biggest school sporting event.

I’m delighted to say that the International Paralympic Committee has confirmed my new World Record, set at the BT Paralympic World Cup.
I was running in the same race, the Men’s 400m, as Oscar Pistorius and we both set new records. Mine was a new T42 World record with a time of 57.06s, Oscar set a new T43 World [...]

What a week and what a race!

Winning the 200m Gold medal was clearly the highlight and it’s given me another target for 2012, as I [...]

I’m over the moon with my 200m Gold in the IPC World Championships in Christchurch!
Two hundred metres is a hard distance for me but I took a good look at the other guys in the warm up area and I knew what I had to do.
My start is usually quite slow and I realised they [...]

After a trying December, when the conditions were so terrible that I couldn’t do any road running whatsoever I’m off to the World Championships in Christchurch, New Zealand.
Although we were snowed in, I didn’t stop training and had to content myself with extra strength and conditioning sessions as well as indoor training in Lee Valley. [...]

This weekend is the New York Marathon, what an occasion! As an event, it’s up there with the best in the world and I simply can’t wait to get out there and run.
I’ve run the race before and not only is it a really good place to run, with lots of sights to see en [...]
