Quick Questions

What got you into running?

I got into running because my menopause made me feel very low and lonely and my sister suggested that joining a club with like minded people may help – best decision I’ve ever made!

What are you most proud of in your running?

I’m proud of the fact that I’ve run three marathons and literally never saw that happening!

When did you join Tiptree Road Runners?

I joined during lockdown 2020.

What is your favourite training session?

Anything that doesn’t involve a hill!

Cambridge half. First big race in club colours. It was beautiful, well supported and a fantastic goody bag and medal.

Favourite race distance?

Anything under 10km.

Do you prefer racing or social running?

Social running all the way – means I can chat!

Who inspires you at the club?

All the friends and members. Everyone is happy to offer advice and super supportive. Wouldn’t have achieved anything without them.
