Samantha's bio:
I haven’t run in years…
In May 2018 I signed up for a 5k run for Donna Louise, well I was asked to fill in as someone had dropped out. No training I walked about half of this!
In January 2019 I signed up for my first run… 10k! Because I was told why do a 5k when I have done it.. technically I crossed the finish line but didn’t run the full 5k. After this I started doing more 5k & 10k runs, improving my running pace, my breathing etc. That same year I did Miles for Mind with a colleague at work. Using my lunch break to get a quick 5k in… I look back and think wow who is this person !?!? This crazy person signed up for a half marathon, constantly training 2/3 times a week hitting a minimum mileage of 6-9 miles per run.
In March 2020 I completed my first half marathon in 2hr 36 mins, I was so proud of myself!
Then covid hit… this is when the running took a side step, I was doing home work outs more and and then I moved and changed jobs and my running story stops there… I have tried but I took up swimming from May 2022 and I have been consigning with that until I caught covid and then I haven’t really been back…
So I am hoping this will reignite my love of running!!
My preferred running kit:
Apple Watch with it synced to Strava.
‘On’ running trainers - extra cushioning as I am heavy footed but I have had knee issues with other trainers.
Go to brand is GA Gemma Atkinson - love the fit and comfort, don’t feel like I a pulling up my trousers all pulling down tops when I run!
Almost forgot- need to have a good playlist, current using AfterShokz Trekz Titanium Wireless Bone Conduction Headphones, actually won for a fancy dress costume at work!! Before I started running.
