I have been a keen member of the gym now for over 30 years. Whilst I have always ran a little, even at school, I was hooked after my husband decided that we should run the New York Marathon for Cancer Research in 2003. I have since ran marathons in Dublin, Edinburgh, London, Cologne, Milton Keynes, Halstead, Liverpool, Bournemouth, Chester, Hull, Vienna, Paris and Prague obtaining a personal best in 2019 in Liverpool with 2.58.55 (2nd lady).

I ran Paris Marathon aged 51 (sub 3 hours) coming 4th in my age group ranking me then as the 44th fastest FV50 of all time according to the Power of Ten records.

I am an active member of Bearbrook Running Club and compete in club races from 5k to 26 miles, both on trail and road. I have also competed in ultras such as the Dartmoor Discovery 32, London to Brighton 56 as well as the Saunders Mountain Marathon.

Whilst my main love is running I genuinely enjoy exercise and regularly cross train using free weights or kettlebells. I also love to go out on my road bike. I am passionate about what I do and this is why I decided to move into personal training. I have now added to this by becoming an England Athletics Running Coach as well as a Biomechanics Coach.

In rare quiet moments you will find me pottering around the garden or curled up with a book. I also love going to festivals in Daisy, my little teardrop caravan.

I am 54 and live in Aston Clinton, near Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire with my husband, cats and numerous pairs of trainers.
