Author Biography
Trevor Price is an experienced, although not by any means an Olympic-standard sportsman, having completed several 10k races, and having started training for his greatest sporting challenge yet - a half-marathon. Ever since high school Trevor has regularly played badminton, squash and tennis, until a damaging injury to his Achilles tendon put him out of playing those sports for several years. However, not one to give in, Trevor persevered and by the age of 40 was back in the game. At 42 he found the delights of indoor hockey, whilst regaining his interest in badminton. But by the age of 45, he felt the urge to face a new physical challenge, and so decided to attempt to complete a half marathon organized in the nearby city of Cardiff.
