Sarah Powell, Run Leader with Llantwit Fardre Ladies,<\/a> has joined the Run Wales team for 2020 as a part-time Run Wales Activator to cover Hannah Phillips who’s heading off on maternity. Sarah will be looking after and helping set up running groups in South & East Wales, here’s a bit about her:<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve always been into fitness, it started when I was at brownies! We did our fitness badges and I won a special prize for completing the challenge. I clearly remember feeling amazing and proud. I am super lucky that my family have always been keen to exercise together, from family walks in the beautiful Derbyshire Dales to cycling along the Nottingham canal.<\/em><\/p>\n

The big turning point for me was juggling work and then a young family, I no longer had the free time or money to invest in a gym membership or fitness classes, for years the only exercise I did was the odd fitness DVD at home.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"In 2014 I was faced with a massive challenge, a group of parents from my daughter’s school decided to set up a charity team to run the Cardiff half marathon, I agreed, I was super motivated to raise money for a very personal cause. I thought I was fairly fit, and I knew it would be hard but I was excited about tacking a new fitness goal. I then went for my first run, I ran one lap of Llandaff fields, I couldn\u2019t breathe! My lungs were burning, and my legs just didn\u2019t want to work, I panicked it was less than three months until the half! I was extremely lucky that a mum from school who had also agreed to run said she would train with me, every run was hard, I felt sick and exhausted. On that October morning 2012 I stood at the start line, with butterflies in my tummy, I was so happy to make it all the way around (only one toilet stop at the bay) I wasn\u2019t the last person and I didn\u2019t collapse, and that’s when I caught the running bug! Since then I have completed the Cardiff Half 5 times, and in 2016 I ran the London marathon with the same friend who originally supported me.<\/em><\/p>\n

I love running, but more than anything I love running with people, for me running is therapy.<\/strong> <\/em><\/p>\n

In 2018 with the help and support from Hannah from Run Wales I set up a ladies running club in my village, I was hoping to meet new friends and maybe encourage some new ladies to discover the many benefits of running, in those 2 years I made some amazing new friends, who have inspired and supported me, not just in my running goals, but to apply for this new role. I am super excited to meet everyone and I am really hoping I can help and support others to reach and exceed their goals.”<\/em><\/p>\n
