The Nottingham Post Corporate Challenge Profile – Team NMB Profile: David Bishop
Occupation: Corporate director of development at Nottingham City Council.
Distance to run: As part of the Nottingham Post Corporate Challenge, supported by Nottingham Means Business, I’m running the Ikano Robin Hood Mini Marathon, a distance of 1.5 miles.
Q. Are you a regular runner?
A. No, not really. I only jog around twice a week at the moment.
Q. How are you honing your training, are you doing anything different in preparation?
A. I am making sure I use the office stairs, not the lift!
Q. Aside from the vigorous training, are there any other ways you are preparing?
A. I haven’t prepared in any other ways, but there is still a month to go to race day – so who knows what might happen in that time!
Q. Have you got any personal goals to beat?
A. My goal is to finish the challenge in a reasonable time, and run a bit further too – without pulling a muscle in the process!
Q. Why have you entered the Corporate Challenge?
A. Taking part in the challenge is a great way for me to support business in Nottingham and Nottingham Means Business and to be part of something for a good cause.
The funds raised by the Nottingham Means Business team will be donated to CityCare, a staff-led enterprise, which works across Nottingham to provide extensive health services specifically in the home but also in health centres across the city.
CityCare gave a high level of service to Jim Taylor, the founder of NMB who sadly passed away earlier this year, to donate to the team please visit: http://www.gofundme.com/cl7auk
