Veteran middle-distance runner says he’s reaping the rewards of a training group which provides the perfect platformEdinburgh AC’s Paul Forbes continues to set the standard in masters track and field. He won double gold over 800m and 1500m at the World Masters Championships indoors and European Masters Championships outdoors. “It’s a bit of a thrill, I must be honest with you,” says Forbes when told he’s been voted by AW readers as the British Male Masters Athlete of the Year for the second successive year. Forbes is hugely appreciative of the respect and support shown by his fellow runners and athletics aficionados but in truth he’s already happy and hugely motivated. Along with his training group, he’ll “have a crack at the 3000m” at the 2024 European Masters Indoor Championships.
