Hannah Irwin
Age: 21
Sport: Long-distance running
My love for running started when I was 6 years-old. I saw the happiness that such an accessible sport brought to those around me that I couldn’t not give it a go. I haven’t stopped since!
I am predominantly a 5,000m and 10,000m runner, but I also do cross country and ran my debut half marathon in 2021. My current PB’s are 15:49 for 5,000m, 32:49 for 10k and 73:23 for the half. I am working hard to get these down as far as I can and I feel I have a lot more to come. My imminent goals are to try and achieve the commonwealth games standard and to earn my first GB vest. I simply love the way running makes me feel and the challenge of trying to become the best athlete I can be. Therefore, I will enjoy every step of the journey towards trying to achieve my goals.Luke Collis
Age: 20
Sport: 100m/200m sprinter
My inspiration for sprinting started whilst playing football at the age of 12. I was the fastest in every team I played for. I then decided at 14 to train at Harrow A.C this only lasted a few weeks before I returned to football.
Three years later I started athletics focused on my first season. Within a few months, I was the fastest in the county (Middlesex) and competed at English schools. My greatest achievements so far have been ranked the 9th fastest 100m U18 athlete in England, and the 11th fastest in Great Britain (2018) with a PB of 10.88.
I am now focusing on implementing strength and conditioning into my training regime for the first time. As well as working on speed fitness and technique, I am aware that to become elite sprinter lifting weights effectively is a necessity. With Trojan Fitness I hope this will push my limits to the next level in reaching the GB team.
