Alasdair started running ‘later in life’ at the age of 40. Prior to this would describe himself as ‘rather unathletic’. Having completed a few fun runs while living in Australia he joined the social running club Sydney Frontrunners. After starting to see results while training with Frontrunners, he started to become more competitive and joined another Sydney club, Athletics East, to get into more serious training. While running with AE, amongst other things, he enjoyed competing in Athletics New South Wales track and Masters events.

Alasdair moved to the US in 2020 and to Northern Virginia at the end of 2021 after some time living in Atlanta. He joined NOVA early in 2022 and has enjoyed getting back to training. He is looking forward to seeing some improved race results in the future, maybe even some more PRs.
