- Member of Essington Harriers since 2019
- Committee Member: Woman’s Captain
My running journey started with a few Parkruns, then my first 10k in October 2018. This was swiftly followed in the November by an email that I’d won a Strava Lucozade competition place for London Marathon 2019! (Be careful what competitions you click on Strava!)
The next 4 months consisted of 65 long and lonely training plan runs…I then saw the light and joined Essington Harriers with my niece Drew and good friend Jo and haven’t looked back since.
Nothing compares to the motivation and support Essington Harriers provide! You quickly realise that running isn’t just about you it’s about everyone around you. I wear my Essington Harriers shirt with pride and enjoy helping others to try achieve their goals
