Owner, London

What fuels my running? The sense of freedom that comes from having time to myself to clear my head and drink in Mother Nature’s beauty. I always search out the most scenic routes. That plus the simple satisfaction from doing exercise. I won't go running without my... properly fitted running shoes and my Shokz headphones. I run and become... someone who lives in the moment again. My best ever running experience... Finally achieving my dream Marathon time after many years of trying. It was a complete blessing.
