From 3km to 14km in
less than a year
"I had no
idea that joining a running group would lead me to where I am
now…"
 A personal account
written by one of our fabulous clients, Francesca
James
"3km was the furthest I’d run before I
joined running group. Running will always be challenging but with
the right preparation, I know that I can achieve my
goals...Sometimes I struggle to get going, but I know how amazing I
feel after a training session. Keeping fit is important to me and
this keeps me motivated.
I can remember a time when I
would never have bothered to get up early on a
Sunday morning to run!!!! Making positive lifestyle changes has
meant that I have been able to achieve my running
goals.
I’m so happy about what I have achieved! I could not
have done it without the support of Jodie, Susan, Emma,
Mark and Steve who are continually helping me to achieve.
Thanks for the support and encouragement!"
