About Me:
Having competed internationally over the past 18 years I have continued to develop my passion for athletics. Evolving as an athlete has broadened my knowledge and understanding of the demands of high performance sport and the dedication required from both athletes and their support teams in order to make it to the highest level within their discipline. Whilst progressing my sporting career I have also established myself within Sport Science research, achieving my PhD in 2018 I have gone on to conduct research projects, specifically in relation to musculoskeletal health and female physiology.
My favourite thing about athletics:
The accessibility of running in particular is an important part of athletics. No matter the pace or ability, particularly in marathon running, everyone competes over the same distance trying to get the most out of themselves
