Running has never been about distances or speeds for Aurelie. It's a lifeline - something that gets her up and out every day, connecting her to a community and reminding her of what humans can achieve when faced with diversity.
The 43-year-old, who was born in France and now lives in London, works as an Operations Director in the telecoms industry. She wasn't a runner as a kid; rather, she found the form of movement later in life, leaning on the workout during lockdown to boost her mental health. Cooped up at home, she, like so many of us, decided to give virtual workouts a go, keen to feel a part of something and move in a way that brought her joy.
