As a fellow Springfield Strider, I can assure you that Paul Jeggo does live in Chelmsford. He often runs with the Saturday morning group on the hills of Little Baddow and Danbury (altitude 108 metres) where we sometimes put on a "fell race" with 400 feet of climb in 1.4 miles. Not sure that's entirely where he gets his ability from, though!
