Running
Along with all the other things I do in my life, one of my biggest passions is helping people get moving. One of the most rewarding things I have done is create running programmes for people who have never run before or who want to learn how to do it properly and safely in a supportive and encouraging environment. There is nothing better than helping people get active and achieve something they never thought was possible.
