‘The Hampden Way’ Bag

08/01/2019 by Justin Eyre

Jonathan Solly  is a former long-distance runner.

Jon won the 1986 Commonwealth Games Gold Medal for England in the Men’s’ 10000 Metres.

His personal best 10000 Metres time was 27:51.76.

Until the early 1990s he travelled the world as a professional runner with a personal best marathon time of  2:12:07. (To put that in perspective, that is running 26.2 miles at 11.92 miles per hour! Try that speed on a treadmill for a few minutes at the gym!)

Jonathan is now a highly skilled cabinet maker, based at his workshop in Thame.
