Start:

He took up the sport at children's athletics clubs that he attended with his brothers in New Zealand. "I have been involved in athletics from a young age and then remained in the sport through local athletic clubs through school and university." (londonrunningphysio.com, 02 May 2020)

Reason:

"After moving to the Netherlands in 2016, I decided to start racing on the roads as the road racing scene in the Netherlands is fantastic. It was a nice change after being a track runner for so long, and I decided it was time to try the marathon distance in 2018. I was already relatively comfortable with the mileage required, and only made small increases to my weekly volume." (londonrunningphysio.com, 02 May 2020)

Ambition:

To compete at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, and to set a New Zealand national marathon record. (stuff.co.nz, 06 Mar 2020; Facebook profile, 17 Apr 2021)

Training:

He runs about 200 kilometres a week. (stuff.co.nz, 06 Mar 2020)

General
OCCUPATION
He works full-time as a geotechnical engineer in London, England. "It gives me balance. It makes you very efficient in terms of your training and maximising your recovery because you don't have a lot of time. It also means you sacrifice a little bit more outside work and sport around how you spend your time. It keeps you level-headed because you've got something to focus on outside of sport, and that can be important for a marathon runner when injuries come along. But it does make life incredibly busy." (stuff.co.nz, 06 Mar 2020; LinkedIn profile, 01 May 2018)

FURTHER EDUCATION
He has also completed a master's degree in engineering geology at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand. (LinkedIn profile, 01 May 2018)
