Meet Amateur Atheletes

"sometimes nothing clears the head like a run"

"I didn’t find boxing, boxing found me."

"we’re allowed to celebrate the wins for as long as we feel, and to reflect on how far we come each and every week! "

"Managing an athlete’s lifestyle while being a full-time university student is no joke"

"I wanted to challenge myself even further and signed up for my first Ironman 70.3 "

"What began as weekend rides turned into structured training, long races, and chasing watts."

"I decided to try running and then eventually decided to become good at anything I put my mind to rather than just trying to excel at 1 sport."

"When I’m out on my bike in the countryside and the sun is shining I just feel at peace."

"I think not only athletes deserve medals, their families do too."

​

​

"This week's win? Knowing I'm still building, still improving, and still hungry"

"there’s something deeply satisfying about pushing through and getting it done."

"Most days, I don't want to be running at 5.30am but I do it, regardless"

"That feeling amplified why I love racing. The connections, electric energy and proving more of myself every time cannot be topped."

"For a girl who used to hate running, crossing the finish line made me realise that we are all capable of doing hard things as long as we have the right mindset. "

"Powerlifting- to feel strong & empowered within my body…Running- to challenge myself, strengthen my weaker area & strengthen my mind"

"Balancing work and training and content at the same time is tough."

"Time management is something I am working on at the moment and I’ve been balancing my training and work great!"

​

​

"started training and boom the running bug hit"

"Maintaining discipline is tough, but that’s why you get the results when you do!"

"I’m someone who always wants to push and sometimes I need to take it easier. "

"Progress isn’t always in numbers, sometimes it’s changing things up and feeling excited about training again."

"I then fell in love with the process of making myself better, feeling and seeing the fitness improvements month on month"

"The hardest part isn’t the training, it’s the balance. But I wouldn’t change a thing. It’s chaos, yeah… but it’s my chaos. And it’s building something bigger than me."

"Hard work paid off, and now I’m living what I used to dream about"

"At the weekend I completed my 5th 50km and ran in a PB time of 6hrs13min across the rolling hills of the South Downs Way"
