These Welsh Runners Are juggling High Mileage Training with Farming

In a world where many championship-bound endurance runners enjoy the benefits of full-time training, sponsorship and plenty of rest and recovery between hard sessions, Welsh stars Caryl Jones and Dewi Griffiths could not be more different. With both confirmed on the Welsh Commonwealth Games team – Griffiths is set to double up with the 5000m and the 10,000m, and Jones the marathon – they have earned their tickets to the Gold Coast off the back of 5.30am starts in the milking parlour and long hours in the lambing sheds, juggling high mileage training with farming.
