Emily has only been running for 13 months and already she’s completed three (crikey!) halves (Paris, Leeds and Windsor).

With a 22 degree heat and a very tough undulating course it wasn’t all plain sailing for Emily who told us she would ‘NEVER do Windsor again’!

Despite that she still managed to beat BBC Radio 2 presenter Chris Evans by a good 25 minutes – so not all bad Emily?

Emily becomes a run leader

This week we’re wishing a huge congratulations to our runner Emily who yesterday qualified as a Run Leader on the England Athletics Leadership for Running Fitness course!

Emily, who joined our group last Autumn, had only been running since August. Since then she’s completed not one but TWO half marathons and will soon start training for her first full marathon next year (phew!)

We’re looking forward to her sharing her joy and enthusiasm for running with us on the runs that she leads in the future.
