On this episode, Tomi speaks with another athlete from the North East, in Gillian Manford. She runs for Gateshead Harriers with coach John Stephenson's group and her love for running runs deep.
Gillian talks about what got her into running and her journey from 1:40 hr 1/2 marathons down to 1:20 hrs
She takes us through her training and gives us insight into how she's able to run, train, work and have a family!
Right now, Gillian has her eyes set on dropping her times further and hopes to complete some sub 3 hour marathons in the future!
Gillian encourages us to continue to talk to people during this current lockdown and to keep on checking on each other so that nobody feels too lonely and says that running has been one of the main things that has got her through the lockdowns over the last year.
