I was a This Girl Can Ambassador from 2019 - 2021 before qualifying as a UK Athletics Leader in Running Fitness (LiRF) in April 2021. Over the years I started many beginners running courses but there was little support for someone like me who felt self-conscious about running in public. In 2019, This Girl Can ran a campaign to get more ladies running and gave me the support I needed to help with my anxiety about running in public. I was then asked to become a This Girl Can Ambassador to help other women overcome their inhibitions, which were stopping them from running. Then earlier this year I read an article in Women's Running magazine that only 17% of newly qualified coaches were women and that was the spark that spurred me on to qualify as a UK Athletics Leader in Running Fitness (LiRF).
