It was a Monday night in April 2021. Kev Davis was sitting on the sidelines watching his granddaughters Maddison and Alexis participating in a track session.
“I’m bored just sitting here, Terry,” Kev said to HY Runners head coach Terry Skelton. “I need to do something.”
Kev first met Terry in 1993 when he completed a 10k in 53 minutes. Terry saw Kev’s potential and trained him, knocking his 10k time down to 35:48, and 5k time to 17:41 in 2005. He even completed the famous Hastings Half Marathon in 1:18.
