When did you join Daventry Road Runners?

I joined Daventry Road Runners in May 2019.

​

Why did you start running?

I ran cross country and enjoyed athletics at school, but had a lazy period during my 20's and 30's where I just trained at the gym and learnt boxing, which I really enjoyed! I started from scratch in 2018 doing a 'Couch to 5K' and the rest is history.

​

What is you biggest achievement(s) so far?

Running the Virgin London marathon in 2019 and raising over £13,000 for Myton Hospices, which is where both my in-laws were cared for during the latter stages of their terminal cancer diagnosis.

​

Why did you decide to join Daventry Road Runners?

The wonderful Tee paced me at Daventry parkrun and conned me into joining, haha!

​

What race would you love to do, that you haven't run yet?

I would love to have a go at a Tough Mudder or maybe the Snowdon Marathon.
