Paul Graham

Paul has always enjoyed the thrill of bettering himself and helping others to unlock their potential.

A bit about Paul…

Paul started running in 2013 to try to lose some weight, at the time he was over 13 stone. His first race was Brighton Marathon which he completed in 4 hours 25 minutes. Fast forward to present, over 4 stone lost and almost 2 hours taken off his marathon time and competing for Wales. Along the way, he has made mistakes; he has learned and he is still learning with the ambition of running even faster than his current personal bests.

The things Paul has learned along the way can help others to achieve their goals and reach their potential!

Starting points to current PB’s.

5K - 22:26 to 14:38

10K - 50:11 to 29:38

Half Marathon - 1:43:36 to 1:06:33

Marathon - 4:25:42 to 2:31:32

He has gained experience from self-coaching, all the way from start out running a couple of times per week all the way to 100+ mile weeks with other ancillary work. This unique progression means that Paul is able to understand the best route to progression for you as an individual!, having experienced first hand every stage of the development.

Paul is also the current chairman for Pontypridd Roadents AC, taking an active role in helping to develop others and the community within arguably the fastest growing and most successful adult running clubs in Wales.
