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.

Rachel Gregory - Treasurer & Membership Secretary/Lead Welfare Officer

​

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 - Club Secretary & Welfare Officer

​

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.

Marie Ayers - 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

​

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.

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.

James Crisp - Coach

​

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 & Coach

​

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.

David Graham - Committee & Coach

 

I started running for the first time since school days in 2017, when I took part in a c25k program hosted by the Lowestoft Road Runners. My running took off, I went from being unable to run 100 metres to running a 5K, building from that to my greatest running achievement Race to the Stones 100k Ultra that I completed in 2022. I became a coach in 2018 as I enjoyed helping others begin their running journeys and I hope to be a running coach for many more years to come.

John Jervis - Committee

 

I started running in 2001 - my first race was the 2002 London Marathon - and I've been running on and off since then. (It has increasingly become a case of more on than off in recent years!) I joined Lowestoft Road Runners in 2016; I love how friendly and supportive the club is, and being a member of the club has turned my running into a much more sociable activity. As well as road running, I enjoy the local cross country league, which is a great way to keep running interesting through the winter. I also occasionally juggle whilst running - a niche sport that is known as 'joggling'.

Tom Galley - Coach

​

I joined the club in 2016 and became a coach in 2018. Additionally have had two separate stints on the committee. I enjoy sharing my training sessions with the club as a coach and helping runners push their limits and get the most out of each session.

Adam Brown - Committee

​

I have been with LLR for about two years now. I started running in 2019 and have completed events from 5k to marathon distance. I love running and can't go a week without it unless I have to, lol. I enjoy meeting for club sessions and social events. I also do like the healthy competition with the club championship between members.
