Train and Race in the beautiful surroundings of the French Pyrenees mountains! |

| John Boyes
has been running competitively for over 30 years. His best times range
from 3-57.9 for 1500 metres, to 2-13-20 for the marathon, at which
he has represented England and Great Britain. His marathon victories
include Glasgow, Westland (Holland) Miami and Cherbourg. He moved
to France 3 years ago and still retains his enthusiasm for the sport
and would love to pass on his years of knowledge and experience. He
is also a keen cyclist, completing Lands
End John O’Groats in 2003 and gradually ticking off the
famous Tour de France climbs. |

| John reached the landmark age of 50 in 2007 and celebrated by running the La Rochelle marathon. As pounding out 120 miles per week is no longer an option, he is taking a keen interest in cross country skiing during January to March, at the ski station of Nistos which is situated 20 miles from the house at an altitude of 5,200 feet. He would love any athletes of any ability to join him in this adventure. | ||||
| Kath Boyes met John at a spring training camp in Portugal in 1990, and they were married 3 years later in St Lucia. Since leaving school Kath has taken an interest in various sports including swimming, badminton and squash, but has always returned to her first love, running. She still runs 5 times a week, and competes for the local running club. Since moving to the Pyrenees she has been on the podium more times than John, and in her first race as a V2 took top position. She is also a very keen walker, and loves gardening and cooking, a fact much appreciated by our guests. | ||||
| Robbie is an 2 year old Border collie who we adopted from a French farm for the princely sum of one bottle of wine. Robbie is tri–lingual, understanding English, French and bones. Since the age of 6 months he has accompanied us on all of our runs, and on one occasion he took a guest around a 10k loop by himself, ensuring he knew the way and crossed the road safely (the guest). |
