About me

I have been running for a long time, covering all distances up to marathons and have been a member of HRC for nearly nine years. I am a Level 3 Endurance coach and lead coach to the Junior HRC section. I am also the coach for #RunAndTalk, something I resonate with. Running is one of the three cornerstones of my life. My husband, my two boys and running have seen me through thick and thin after a life changing illness. I run because I can and there simply isn’t anything I cannot find a solution to, once I lace up my running shoes!!

About me

For some time I’d been wanting to lose weight and get fit, but I’d not really taken any action. Then one day my better half announced that she’d enrolled us both on the beginners course starting in Jan 2019. With two young active sons I decided to give it a go and found I enjoyed the challenge every week. I set a goal of running as many of the Kevin Henry races as possible and then found myself enrolling in more races as my fitness and confidence grew. It’s great to be able to run with my boys, even if I can’t keep up with them! Running has changed our family, as although we run at different paces its something we can do together.
