Chris Day-Kerry recently passed the one-day leadership course, giving Sidmouth Running Club its newest run leader, writes Hamish Spence.
He was welcomed to his new role by head coach Tim Mitchell and took his first group out on Wednesday evening last week.
He chose an almost three-mile jog in a sort of figure-of-eight fairly flat route.
With lots of positive feedback from his group, the rest of us will be looking forward to being put through our paces by Chris in the future.
