My Why?
I quite simply love to run, want to help you discover a passion for the sport, and of course help you hit your goals.
​
I know what it's like to tackle anxiety and fear around ability. Taking on something new, trying to achieve the impossible, as well as overcoming major injuries and mental health issues.
​
In 2018, I broke my leg in three places and dislocated my ankle.
After 9 pins, a metal plate and a long, tough comeback, I won my first race back. Being able to run again was a huge victory.
​
Favourite Distance:
I love a ParkRun, 5-10k, & anything on a trail with a great view!

My Why?
I got into the sport to travel the world and run marathons in new locations for the “fun” of it. I finished my first in America and I caught the running bug.
Although I still aim to have fun in the sport, my goals now are sightly different. I have the aim of trying to gain qualification to represent my country at either the marathon or ultra marathon distance.
Regardless of whether I achieve that, as the poem Song of the Ungirt Runners goes “I run because I like it through this broad bright land.”

My Why?
I love to take part in exercise. I believe that you can push yourself past your limits, while exercising, if you approach the task with a positive mindset.
I got into fitness from a young age. Specifically playing netball and training to be in an elite netball programme at school. During 2020 this ceased, as a result I chose to move to running and weightlifting.
After experiencing a mental rough patch around exercise and nutrition, I have flipped the script on this through my own personal journey and have found a true passion to help others do the same through my social media channels.

A quote I will always live by: “Grit is living life like it’s a marathon, not a sprint” - Angela Duckworth.
