The Personal Bit

Favourite Colour: Red.
Favourite Music: I like any type of music.
Favourite Cartoon character: My favourite cartoon has to be the Simpsons but I really love programmes and films about the mafia.
What you wanted to be when you were growing up: As a kid when I grew up I wanted to be a police officer. The funniest thing I do is probably the way I dance when I’m out with friends they seem to laugh at me.
What would you have done if you hadn’t been so good at running?: If I were not a runner I would have still be playing football (I used to be a Youth player at Barnsley, and my family all played
professional football).

My major other interest has to be ice hockey in which I have a season ticket for Sheffield Steelers. When not running you will find me at work or out with friends. As a person I can be quite full on but I will do anything for anybody.

Jason Ward

Name: Jason Ward
D.O.B: 15/9/78
Club/County/Country: Altrincham/ Yorkshire.
Personal Profile: I’m a very intense person when it comes to my running I don’t accept 2nd best, which leads me to run very hard every time I race (always pushing the pace). I train with a very good group of runners who are all the same so training is very intense (all international level athletes). My main running is done on the roads and x country, I do track but prefer the winter. You could describe me as a very hard and strong runner but with a very fast turn of pace. I normally race from 3000m upwards. 
Ambitions/Future aspirations:My ambition is to represent my country at a major champs at the marathon. But this year it’s to break 29mins for 10k and make the world x country team.

Best Race: For me has to be the boulder bolder for atmosphere its fantastic, plus have really run well there against the best runners in the world. Best performance for me has to be either winning the Leeds abbey dash or running 2nd fastest time at this years national road relays behind Mo Farah. 

Worse Race: Ghent 2005, I was leading the race by 15 seconds after 10 minutes of running against people who have been in top 10 at European champs, I died pretty badly.

Personal best performances:
10k 29.17
5k. 14.20
5 mile 23.36
Half marathon 65.00
