          The first thing people always ask me about is my name. 

          It’s Sanskrit and it means ‘Eternal Bliss’.

          I pronounce it ‘A-Darren-And”… to rhyme with ‘Another Land’.

          Yes, it’s my real name. No, I’m not Indian. I was born in 1974 and my parents, who are both Irish, lived in an ashram in south London and had an Indian guru.

After winning the school cross country a few years in a row, I joined the local running club, the now defunct Northampton Phoenix, and spent much of my early teenage years training hard and racing at meetings across the country, and dreaming of one day running in the Olympics.

          Although I continued to run at least once a week, it wasn’t until my mid-30s that I started racing again.

          By then I was a journalist writing for national newspape
