The next year, running in the Under-17 age category, he improved his PB to 4:24 in the National Junior Athletic League central meeting in Stoke in April 2008. He was also ranked in the top three 1500m runners in England during his junior career. From auditioning on X-Factor to becoming part of one of the biggest boy bands in the world, Liam Payne’s journey has been nothing short of incredible. Thank you for the music and memories 🥺Payne also participated in cross country running, which led to him joining Wolverhamption & Bilston Athletics Club. The young Payne was said to have been intent on pursuing a career in running, before his music career became his focus.
