Description

A lawyer for her whole career, Marianne realised one day that enough was enough, jacked it in, and retrained as an endurance coach in swimming, triathlons and more recently in Surf Fitness. She picked up surfing and snowboarding in her 50s and runs the SurfFit class I go to in Brighton each week and is quite simply, brilliant.
