Josh’s biography
Welshman Josh Griffiths represented Great Britain for he first time at the 2017 IAAF World Championships in London coming 39th overall. This was only Josh’s 2nd ever marathon, the first being the British trial race at the 2017 Virgin Money London Marathon the previous April. That day will forever be a day to remember. On his debut marathon he found himself 1st British athlete, 13th overall, a 2.14.49 PB and an automatic qualification for the British team for the World Championships. A truely remarkable story.
Fast forward to 2022 and Josh is now a well established and experienced marathoner with a 2.11.24 personal best from Seville Marathon, 2022. He ran the toughest race of his life at the Commonwealth Games, Gold Coast, Australia representing Wales. In spring 2018 he backed this up with a solid 7th place in 2.16.09 in a strong international field at Dublin Marathon. 2019 brought a PB of 2.14.26 in London and a top 10 finish at the Toronto marathon.
2020 started well with a PB of 63.33 for the Half Marathon in Barcelona, and a 7th place finish at the Big Half in London, which was good enough to earn selection for the British team for the World Half Marathon championships. With the pandemic upon us plans changed and so a strong run in Antrim with new half marathon PB of 63.08 bode well for the next target. The 40th London Marathon went very well for Josh in very challenging conditions – a 2.13.11 PB and Bronze in the British Marathon Championships.
Next up – the World Championships in Eugene!
Josh is self coached and completed his MSc in Sports Coaching and runs his own coaching business. https://www.joshgriffrun.com/
