Get to Know…Henry Miller

 

For this week’s choice we meet the junior of the club. For those that regularly do parkruns then you will often see Henry running with his sister, mum (Sue Brumwell and dad (Michael Miller). Although Henry maybe classed as a junior, but he is held in high esteem by his running peers. He has made huge leaps in terms of his running ability and his personal racing times and it has been a real pleasure to watch his progression over the last few years to see what a fine athlete he has turned in to now. He is a fine role model for any other juniors looking to race or to join a running club and is a popular member of the club. However he is more than just an athlete and there is more to Henry than just running so let’s find out what makes Henry Miller tick.
