  Jonathon Taylor may have improved by seven seconds in the 3000m steeplechase to 8:38 last summer, but his major breakthrough came with his victory in the McCain Cross Challenge and European Trials in Liverpool in late November. This year specifically he has incorporated more strength work into his programme, which is prescribed by Stephen Payton (Paralympic medallist at 400m) at Teesside University. Taylor works full-time at the university as a research assistant in the sport and exercise department and spent four years there as a student prior to this.
