Press Conference in advance of the UK Indoor Athletics Championships

It's the day before a major meet so the press are invited to phtoograph and interview a selection of Team GB athletics stars at the EIS, Sheffield where the real action happens this weekend.

Always a nice treat as they're not speeding past you for once, so the shutter speed can come down, and always have time for a quick chat.

 L to R: Tom Bosworth, Asha Philip, Andrew Pozzi and David Omoregie
