What first drew you to your sport?

I used to run when I was a child until age 10, and always loved it. I decided to start again in 2022, I just really enjoy it.

What are you currently working towards?

I’m currently working towards the London Marathon

What helps you show up on the days motivation is low?

Being part of a team, and the people, always helps me show up when motivation is low. Everyone just keeps you going. Also knowing, I always feel better after a run, pushes to keep going.

How do you look after yourself alongside training?

I started cycling last year, have found that really has helped with keeping moving well, my fitness and adding something different in.

What are you most proud of in your training or racing so far?

I’m most proud of the progression I’ve made since joining the team. Not only with times and results, but my own confidence, and believing I can do things when I don’t always think I can.

One piece of advice you’d give to someone starting out

Enjoy it and have fun!
