About Us
Who are we ?Firstly, thank you for visiting our site, here's a few words about us. My name is Carl Johnson and I am the founder and one of the Partners of UK Road Runner.com Limited. I run the site with the help of my father, Peter. Peter Peter has been running for about thirty years, taking part in many marathons all over the world, he has now retired from competitions and runs purely for pleasure. I have been running for just over twenty years in both marathons and more recently in shorter 5K and 10K races. We live in the heart of the Staffordshire moorlands and as such, have fantastic training runs in and around some of the UK's most beautiful countryside. (very Hilly or should I say undulating) Our local club is Cheadle Running Club, of which I am proud to be a member.(www.cheadlerc.co.uk) Our Aim :Our aim is simple, we want to create a site containing high quality useful information,that will benefit both beginners and more experienced runners.We are constantly trying to improve the site and add new articles and features all of the time. It has been encouraging to read some of your comments (both good and bad),all of which are noted down for future site updates, so please please continue to click on the comments links at the bottom of every page, your thoughts about the site really do count. If you have your own race story to tell the you might want to click on the your race comments link on the home page, its easy to do and gives you the chance to share your own experiences.  Carl How did we build this site ?When we first came up with the idea of building the site, Peter and I thought about hiring a web designer to do the ground work and code the basic site for us. After a few months of quotes dropping through the door we soon realised that this was going to be a very expensive route to take, so I decided to build the site myself, now the big question was how to start, with absolutely no knowledge of HTML what so ever. The answer came one day in the form of a program called Site Build It.
This is the same link that we stumbled upon back in October 2006.Site Build It proved to be the solution that we had been looking for, it guided us simply through every process, even submitting to the search engines for us. If you are interested in the idea of your own site, I can't say enough about SBI, without it this site wouldn't be here now. more .... That's enough about us for now, so I would just like to thank you for visiting our site and we hope very much that you will continue to call back or alternatively subscribe to our RSS feed to keep up to date with our changes. Many thanks, Carl and Peter
