Now boasting PB’s of 3:40 in the 1500 and 13:52 in the 5K, as well as two senior GB vests in the mixed relay teams for the European and World Cross Country Champs, what can Elson do next? Enjoy!

We chatted with Marc about the improvements he’s made in the last couple of years, as well as his decision to leave Jerry Schumacher and the BTC, in favour of the NN running team and a move to the roads.
