I have run with SHR since 2013. Previously I'd run half marathons and the London marathon, training solo. SHR gave me the opportunity of quality training, in a friendly and unintimidating environment. I also found many running buddies from my local community in this friendly group. Since then I've had the opportunity to train as a run leader and more recently as a coach. I love being able to share my experience of running and encouraging people of all abilities to become active and get out and run!
