Every month we celebrate one of our own — the people who make BHX Run Club what it is.

What got you into running?
I have been running for 12 months now. When I started, I was struggling with my mental health and I knew I needed something to help me fight back. Signing up for the Birmingham Half Marathon last year felt like a big step, but it changed everything. I found something I didn't even realise I was missing. Running became my escape, my way of clearing my head, and slowly helping me feel like myself again.
What's your favourite distance?
Half marathon and a 10km with BHX.
What's your dream race location?
Berlin marathon — a good opportunity for a PB (so I am told).
What is your advice for new runners?
Don't compare yourself to others, focus on your own journey and run at a pace that feels right for you.
