In Aaron’s words

Training, fuelling, recovery.

Found the love for running at age of 25. Started running marathons then ended up increasing the running load to ultras, from 50km all the way to 150 miler. Whilst maintaining the gym bro training style.

150 mile ultra for Charity raising £15,000 in the process.
100k ultra (Lake District) in 12 hours.
Sub 40 10km at Bristol 10k
Do you track your calories and if so, how many calories do you consume per day

Keeping my calories under 2000 at the moment with the cut in full swing! Training twice a day running and lifting weights is hard work!

If you wasn't doing your sport what would you be doing

Would love to be a fighter but I'm not that guy 😅😅😅 tried MMA for around a year with sparring etc and it's humbling!! most underrated sport and upmost respect to all that do the art

If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life what would it be

I prefer home cooked food! Have to be the misses's peanut butter beef with rice - unreal

What is your favourite genre to listen to while training

Running I love a podcast keeps it calm! But when lifting I HAVE to listen to metal/rock.

How do you usually introduce yourself: "runner", "lifter" or "its complicated"

Weight lifter who runs "occasionally" ;)
