About Helen

​Sadly when my Dad was dying I felt I needed to have some time outside alone to come to terms with what was happening. Having only ever run on a treadmill before in the gym (which I found so boring!) I decided to give running a go. I followed the Couch to 5K app which was unbelievably hard but found to be inexplicably addictive. Once I completed that I felt encouraged to run further and now regularly run two 10ks a week.
I was encouraged by my husband and son (an ultra-runner himself) to join a running group and that was when I found WOTR in Topsham. It was a big step for me to turn up for my first meeting: I was very nervous. I needn’t have worried as the group were a great bunch of welcoming, friendly and chatty women. I have thoroughly enjoyed the runs: away runs in the summer months and more local during the winter months with the occasional social thrown in!!
I have since completed my Leadership in Running Fitness and would encourage any ladies who would like to start running or our nervous about doing it alone to come along and give us a try. We usually run 3-5 miles at a pace to suit the whole group and lasts about an hour.
