Life couldn’t get much more eventful for athlete Dewi Griffiths.

The Swansea Harrier recently achieved his ambition of equalling Welsh distance legend Steve Jones’ remarkable record of nine Welsh cross country championships.

Over the next few weeks, Griffiths will be training for the TCS London Marathon at the end of April and a possible attempt on Jones’ long-standing Welsh marathon record.

All the while, the 33-year-old Carmarthenshire farmer will not only be in the middle of lambing season, he and his wife will be preparing for the birth of their first child!
