Ian Ainscough

Run Lead
Ian, one of our previous committee members, is a UKA LiRF Run Leader and helps lead on our Tuesday night runs.
Having dabbled in running for a few years, completing a few half and full marathons including London and Snowdon Marathons, I plucked up the courage and joined the club in 2012. I had no cycling or swim experience which made me equally nervous and excited.

 

Unfortunately on my very first club ride I had an accident, which resulted in a serious shoulder injury, which permanently halted any thoughts of swimming properly.

 

Since then I have been involved in lots of running events and regularly lead group rides. I have also served on the committee.

 

Away from the club I’m part of Chester Parkrun Core team.
