Biography
My name is Vinnie Dawson and I am 19 years old and from Leicestershire. I am an 800/1500 m runner who is currently studying, living and training at st Mary's university where I hope to further my athletic career in my sport by training with some of the best athletes in the country as well as best coaching there is to offer. This year will be my third year of being part of the JHMT funding of small grants which has really helped over the past 3 years to progress my training as well as helping keep me healthy which I hope will all contribute to me achieving my goals in the future.
I am genuinely very thankful and grateful for the support of JHMT in the form of a small grant.

A successful season amoungst a global pandemic
Posted: 10th Apr, 2021
This season was a tough one, all year there was rumours that we would not get a season and so I was in a sort of limbo for the majority of the year in terms of weather or not I would be racing, but thanks to race organisers I was able to race 5 times in the space of a month which allowed me to then run two personal bests of 1:57 and 3:57 which for me was unbelievable, I mainly attribute this to the great training I had in the buildup of this season and the support form GHMT Read More »
