For most of my life, running and nutrition were never things I took seriously. I grew up overweight, and food was something I turned to for comfort. It was less about fuelling my body and more about trying to feel better in the moment which is something that often left me feeling worse. I found myself stuck in cycles of bingeing, eating foods that lacked nutritional value and avoiding exercise altogether.
When I first moved to London, things didn’t change overnight. For two years, I was on and off in the gym, struggling with consistency – and more importantly, lacking a sense of community. It wasn’t until I decided to start a run club that something shifted. Being surrounded by people who were motivated, disciplined and achieving incredible things pushed me out of my comfort zone.
