Jason Edwards is the current holder of the FKT for the Mole Gap Trail. I spoke to Jason to find out about his background, the Mole Gap Trail FKT and his plans for the future.
How many years have you been running for?
I have been running for seven years; the first run I ever did was a 5k Park Run at Hove Park which I did because I had quit smoking the day before. I ended up doing it in 32 minutes and got hooked from that point onwards.
Why do you run?
It is kind of my medication really and gives me an opportunity to be in the moment. I think that in the modern world it is hard being mindful and to put yourself in a place where nothing else really seems to exist. When I am running all my problems, worries and concerns seem to disappear. I love running trails rather than on the roads when it is just me and nature.
