In Episode 21 we talk to Steve Vernon, former GB mountain and XC runner. Steve is now the Elite Performance Manager at New Balance UK and head coach and boss of Team New Balance Manchester.
Steve is an 8-time medallist and two-time winner of the super-tough and world-famous National Cross Country Championships, winning in 2011 and 2014. He has also worn the GB vest at the World and European XC championships and on the mountains too, finishing 5th at the European Mountain Running Championships in 2013.
Team New Balance Manchester is a professional running team based in South Manchester under the guidance of Steve. The team comprises of a small group of elite distance runners from the UK and one of only a few professional running teams based in the UK and are fortunate to have support from New Balance to help them compete and reach for the very highest level of international athletics.
And, we also find out in this podcast how Steve's un-waning competitive nature found him gaining success as the junior angling Northern Champion and how he would love to one day present Countryfile!
