Having my support system enables, encourages, and inspires me to start a run and keep going.

After almost taking my own life several years ago, it is my determination to never go back there that is my hidden advantage. I set myself big challenges and push myself to new limits because I want to be as far away from the person I was back then. It’s that determination that has seen me take on several ultramarathons with podium finishes and now to helping others through my coaching.

Once I set my mind to something, I put everything I can into trying to achieve it – I love the feeling of pushing myself to become physically and mentally stronger and achieve the goals I set for myself.

My pride, because I can always give that extra 10% and keep going, even when there’s nothing left in the tank I don’t back down.

Running is my joy, my happy place, my happy space and it is the one thing that I do that is just for me. Runjoy should be a word.

Because there’s no greater feeling than being outdoors and one with mother nature.

Running is my determination. To work hard, keep showing up and you will reap the rewards!
