I want to introduce you to a very special friend of mine who has kindly agreed to do a guest post this week. I met Kate Russell almost three years ago when I started leading an outdoor training session with her and some of her work colleagues.

This year Ruski decided she wanted to take things up a notch and entered her first half marathon. I thought it would be amazing for her to give you a little insight into her preparation, dedication to training and the race itself – if you’ve ever thought about doing one yourself, this may be just the inspiration you need!
