Experience and Achievements
Malcolm started in sport in 1995 aged 35 with a view to race one short course triathlon and four years later had drifted into Ironman due to the introduction of drafting into shorter distance races. He has completed eight Ironman races with a best time of 10:23 and has raced at Nice three times. He has made an occasional appearance in the Age Group World Championships and has dabbled in open water swimming. He now concentrates on running and has completed 14 marathons including 6 quite close to 3 hrs and a best time of 2:58, and a 10k PB of 36:05.
Interests and Activities
Malcolm's main interest is in road racing with 5k, 10 miles and marathon being his favourite distances. He is constanty looking for more efficient ways to train based on the assumption that many club runners who work for a living cannot dedicate 6 days per week to sport.
Involvement with Serpentine
Malcolm Joined the Serpentine RC in 2006 and assists with running the interval sessions at the Dome and leads a long run/ tempo group on Wednesday nights for some of the more experienced runners.
He is currently serving on the committee as coach-liaison and as such has an interest in most of the coaching that goes on in the club.
