Caroline Peek - Chairman

​

I started running in 2017, joined the club in 2018 and have had several terms as a committee member. I run all distances but love the challenge of long distance running , longest to date being 100k ultra in June 2023.

Leila Bye - Social Secretary

​

Joined the club in 2018 as a beginner runner. Since then has enjoyed taking part in the many races, over the years including the london marathon. She's more than happy and at her best organising the club social events for many to enjoy.

Marie Ayers - Treasurer & Member Secretary & Coach

​

I joined LRR in 2016 to improve my running. Being a member of the club gave me the confidence to run two marathons which I never  thought I would be able to run. In 2018 I became a coach and love seeing members improve and achieving their running goals.

Neil Bye - Committee & Club Secretary

​

Joined LRR in 2014 as a beginner runner. By 2016 he had run this first marathon and soon after started to take part in triathlons.

Rachel Gregory - Committee

​

I have been a member of LRR since 2020. Having raced track when I was younger and not liked the pressure, I now run for enjoyment and the social side. I really like being a member of the club as everyone is very friendly and supportive and I love being able to support and cheer on other members too, whether at events or club training sessions. I also love going for long social runs with other club members as well as summer pub runs where you have a chance to have more of a chat with other runners.

Manuel Nicolaus - Committee

​

Manuel joined the LRR in 2019. He is an all distance runner. He enjoys a 100m sprint as much as a 250mile ultramarathon. Within the LRR he coordinates the members’ race results. So when you have just completed a race, let Manuel know, where and when it was, how long it was and your race time (full race reports also appreciated). He will then add this to the LRR race database.

Philip Brand - Committee

​

Coming 3rd in XC, is where my passion for running started. In my secondary school days, circa 1974. XC is still prevalent now. I like all running events from 5K - Marathon.. but I love 10M or HM . I joined this nice running club in 2019, consequently I started on the committee in Feb ‘21. Being a member of this club (LRR) .. I get the sense of belonging. This is down to the friendliness and easy approach by the Committee and Coaches of recent past and present. Welcome To Our Club #TeamLRR

Chris Woodcock - Committee

​

Joined Lowestoft road runners in 2018, a year after trying park run for the first time. I enjoy being part of a club, who help and encourage runners to achieve their best. I have achieved many PB’s since joining the club, and aim to help others whilst continuing to improve myself.

Lisa Riley - Committee

​

I have been a member of LRR for about 13 years now ( sorry, I can't remember exactly) . I love running and have come a long way since joining. My first race was Race for life and since then I have run many distances including half marathons and marathons, also supporting the club at the Ekiden relay, Cross country and other team events. The support of club members is amazing and there is always someone to ask if you need help or questions answered. The club's teamwork is lovely, especially in Lockdown it was great to have social media to keep us all in contact . I have been a member of the committee for the last 3 years and am now in my 4th year . It's great to see how the committee works and how much effort is put into running the club, and also how valuable the team are at making decisions and coming up with new ideas and improving on original ones . There is a fab social side at the club where we celebrate achievements and just have a good time getting together.

James Crisp - Coach & Male Team Captain

​

I have been a member of this great club for the past 7 years, and have made great friends! I first got into running by raising money for my best mates niece, he then convinced me to join a running club … I wasn’t keen as never liked running but I came along and the club made me feel so welcome that I’ve never looked back since! Such a friendly supportive club I’ve made massive strides in bringing my PB’s down thanks to all the coaches!

Katy Oldman - Female Club Captain

​

I have been a member of the Lowestoft Road Runners for 8 years, joining after running the Lowestoft Half Marathon and reading a flyer promoting the club. I joined the club because I needed some inspiration and encouragement, as running alone had become stagnant. Not only did my running improve, so did my social life. I've made some amazing friends that I look forward to seeing in and outside of club. I'm looking forward to many more years of running with my friends and with our very special organisation.

Matt Baldry - Coach

 

My coaching journey started about 7 years ago after being a beginner and I wanted to get more involved in what I was doing in my sessions. I like to think I bring something a little different and “meatier” to my LRR club session's. I look forward to pushing you all and I have great satisfaction seeing progress in all your running journeys

Liam Mullen - Coach

​

I have been a member of LRR since 2018 after I competed the Lowestoft Half Marathon, with the help of training provided by the club in preparation for the race. In 2021 I was asked to be a coach and I haven’t looked back since. Being a coach enables me to give back the skills learnt from the other coaches, and help where possible with club members to improve their running ability. Outside of club I an in charge of a local Cub Scout section, enjoy most sports mainly Rugby and you’ll catch me at Parkrun every Saturday, although I’m normally on time keeping duties .

Caroline Parnis - Coach

​

Hi, I’m Caroline! I’ve been with LLR for about five years and have been part of the coaching team for the last two. I became a coach to ensure everyone feels welcome at our sessions, especially those who, like me, run at a slower pace. I understand that people run for many different reasons, not just to be the fastest. We’re a fantastic club, and I hope you’ll join us for some great runs!

Johnathan Lincoln - Coach

 

I started running track and xc at school, running at county level for both club and school. Roll forward a 'few' years to 2020 and I rejoined to help improve my running in triathlons. Recently I became a coach and I really enjoy helping people achieve their running goals be it for health/fitness reasons or race goals

Suzy Grant - Coach

 

I began running again in 2016 with Lowestoft Ogogo with a friend to help improve our fitness. When Ogogo finished I was encouraged by another running friend to join LRR, as they had done, with the aim of completing our first half marathon together. So I joined in 2017 and we completed the Lowestoft Half Marathon in the October. Moving forward to 2018 I decided that I would like to become a coach, so that I could help and support others within the club as I had been from when I joined.
