Tracey Dean

How do you recover from a 24 hour mountain running race in the outer Hebrides, well race a 2300ft Half Trail Marathon in Snailbeach (Shropshire) a week later of course! 

The last weekend in July has been a firmly marked date in many of the TORQ runners’ diaries. 

Earlier in the year, the 2014 TORQ Performance Trail Team, TORQ’s newest Performance Racing Team, made an official start to the season with several new runners joining existing team athletes Simon White, Tracy Dean, Stuart Mills and Jon Hedger. 

Following the introduction of Tracey Dean to the team last month, we are pleased to announce our second signing to the TORQ Performance Trail Running Team – Stuart Mills. 

Tracy Dean, our newest signing to the TORQ Performance Trail Running team, recently had the honour of being selected to represent Great Britian at the World Trail Running Champs, which this year took place in the Gwydr Forest close to Betws-Y-Coed in North Wales. 

Here at TORQ, we have recently started putting together a Performance Trail Running Team to go alongside the TORQ Trail Team, which has recently been featured in Trail Running Magazine. 

TORQ’s very talented Nick Shasha now has another title to add to his extensive racing CV – British Masters Indoor Champion…

The last few races of my early season before making the full switch to multi-sport have gone particularly well for me this year and I’ve broadened my racing experience by representing Great Britain on both the indoor track and at cross country running. 

After an exceptional performance at the 2012 London Olympics, finishing 8th in both the 5000 metres and 10,000 meters, with huge improvements on her personal best times, Julia rounded up 2012 rather tired; having raced close to 70 kilometres on the track, compared to just 17 kilometres in 2011.
