His running career did not begin until he was twenty years of age. His father had been a farmer, but Alfred wanted to be a carpenter. He took jobs in the building trade and it was while he was a bricklayer on a hospital project project in Stammerham, near his home village, that the racing bug bit him. One night, at about 5:00 pm, Alfred met a man named FJ.Spence who was then the champion runner of the local athletic club. Spence was on his way to a fire. It looked as if all.of the nearby town of Southwater was ablaze and Spence invited Alfred to run over and see the fire with him. Alfred responded responded that he could not run. Spence insisted and they both ran to the fire scene, Alfred actually beat the fire wagon, and Spence was so impressed he convinced Alfred to join the Horsham Blue Star Harriers Running Club. The Blue Star Harriers introduced Alfred to amateur running. After running in a few races Alfred discovered an ability to run well over long distances. He ran on track and cross country, but preferred the later. He later wrote: "Of all the forms of pedestrianism (running), and indeed, of all the branches of athletics there can be nothing superior to cross-country running for Changes are a brewin' at the Beer Store either pleasure or health." Alfred also had an unusual running style. He ran with uneven bursts of speed, which sometimes confounded his opponents. While not said to be the most graceful runner, Alfred was said to "skim over the ground, whether cinder or grass track of the heaviest ploughed, like a bird." It was also said that no matter how hard may the contest in which Shrubb has taken part, he never seems short of breath. Indeed for Shrubb to get out of breath seems practically impossible. What a career! In one amazing day at Ibrox Park, Glasglow, on November 4th 1904, Alfred broke the one KPRDSB hour record as well as all amateur amateur records from six to eleven miles, and all professional records eight to eleven miles! He covered eleven miles, 1,137 yards in one hour. This record was not broken until 1951.
