Phil Nichol
Phil joined the club over 30 years ago at the age of nine.
As an athlete he ran at county level for nearly 30 years competing for Cheshire, Greater Manchester & Derbyshire. He has won county medals at track, road and x-country, as well as a British Polytechnics vest for the steeplechase. In later years he turned to the marathon where he won the prestigeous Snowdonia Marathon on what is allegedley the toughest road course in Europe.
Phil is a level 2 endurance coach, who has coached athletes to county vests and titles. He has a Sports Degree from Carnegie College, Leeds, where he specialised in exercise physiology and athletics. He takes a weekly Thursday training group for U17 and Seniors at Timperley Track and also helps with the coaching of both senior and junior athletes on a Tuesday.
