I first started distance running in 2013 with my first mass participation race being the Bupa London 10k.

I will be running my first Boston Marathon this April and it will also be my first marathon in North America! I am really excited to run such a sought after and prestigious Marathon.

What most excites me about running is the opportunity to explore cities, towns and places. The freedom to move, be spontaneous and discover is exhilarating.

My advice is to pace yourself and enjoy the journey. Mix up your training, distances and events to keep it fresh to ensure your relationship with distance running is a long and happy one!
