What is an average week like for you in terms of university, training and any other commitments?
As I have deferred my dissertation its quite a boring week for me! Training every day but Saturdays usually at 9am so no lie in! Training can vary with times depending on type of session (gym or track) so usually finish around 12-1 ish.
What is your best/most memorable sporting achievement and why?
Most memorable had to be when I won the British Champs and booked place for European Juniors - getting told by my coach to go and see my mum as she was balling her eyes out! Best feeling I've ever had!
How is your season going and what are your aims for 2015?
Season hasn’t started for me yet as I don’t do indoors but training is going very well so high hopes for 2015 season!
