I've been running since I was about 13 competing at County level in the 100m and 200m and continued to do so until my early 20s. I then took a break for a while and more recently started running longer distances, 5k to half marathon. I decided to take my Run leaders qualification through UK Athletics (LiRF) and have held that since 2019 where I lead training sessions with my local club Human Energy AC. Having decided on a potential career change I trained and qualified as a Level 2 Gym instructor and Level 3 Personal Trainer and have been helping others since late 2021 reach their goals. Now I also lead groups on Couch to 5k programmes plus improvers sessions for those that want to push themselves that little bit further.
