Iain McKinnon
When Iain isn't working long hours in the North-East's hospitals, you'll doubtless find him pounding the streets with Heaton Harriers. He joined in 2004 with the intention of getting fitter and losing a few pounds. Like many others before him, he was bitten by the running bug and is now an active team member.
For all those who think they'll never get any better, just ask him about his amazing progress; he slashed almost 13 minutes from his 10k times within 18 months. He won the club's 'most improved athlete' award in 2007 and is looking forward to setting some more PBs soon.
