Adele Stacey Run Leader runningclub@nottsymca.org Started running: I started running in 2013 when I completed a race for life in memory of a friend. I was training with a couple of mates who suggested we sign up for a half-marathon, so knew I had step up my game and down-loaded a training plan. The feeling and focus felt soooo good that I have loved running ever since. Joined YMCA Running Club: Pretty much when the club first started in 2015. There are some original members and always new faces, which is great. Favourite distance to run: When I am running on my own, I always say no less than 3 miles, But I do like a 10-mile run on a Saturday or Sunday morning. If I’m entering a race I go for 10K or half-marathon. If there’s a few hills in the race even better. Favourite race that you’ve participated in: My first half and full marathons will always be the most memorable races, as I enjoyed a massive buzz for days afterwards. Tough Mudder full-challenge (an obstacle course over 12 miles) was the most fun and a different sort of challenge as teamwork was the key. Tough Mudder full-challenge (an obstacle course over 12 miles) was the most fun and a different sort of challenge as teamwork was the key. Best thing about running: I love running, not only because it keeps me super fit and strong, but it lifts my mood, releasing all the happy hormones! It has taught me about channelling my focus and embracing challenges, which helps me in other areas of my life, like work and building confidence. Running is an all-rounder. Best thing about run leading: As I am so passionate about running it’s easy to motivate others and it’s a pleasure to lead the fantastic YMCA Running Club. We motivate each other always and have a laugh too. Personal running goals: Personal goals are small this year as I am currently undergoing cancer treatment – I run a few miles on good days and I am determined to maintain some sort of running/fitness throughout treatment. My big challenge will be to do a marathon in 2020 (hopefully the Brighton Marathon). “It’s so rewarding to see our club members love running and achieve personal bests (PBs) through pure dedication and enjoyment.” Danny Graham, YMCA Running Club Coach Become a gym member CrossFit 1871 at YMCA Gym Nottingham Join our Nottingham CrossFit 1871 community, a safe and friendly place for all levels of experience.
