I qualified as a Run Leader in Jan 2017, and was one of the early run leaders for the Athena Women's Running Group in St Albans, specialising in the successful 0-5k programme helping over 250 women to run 5k. In 2018 I qualified as a Coach in Running Fitness, and also won Female Coach in the Community for both St Albans City and District and for Hertfordshire due to my passion and commitment to growing the Athena run group. In 2020 I qualified as an Endurance Coach and moved to Sheffield. I love being a run leader and helping people to achieve their goals, I champion our local parkrun and encourage our runners to get involved in challenges and races throughout the year. I started my own run group - Mettle Milers - after requests from some of the Athena ladies to have a community where their men could learn to run too. When I moved to Sheffield I joined the local Headspace Running Group, became a run leader and then was asked to take on the management of the group. It made sense to transition this to Mettle Milers as the original run leader left, and I now run lead and manage Mettle Milers in Greenhill, Sheffield.
