LIPSTICK & TRAINERS
Meet Emma Joy Cockroft, 28, at WRRS Manchester, 10 September
“My cousin was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 27 and I had wanted to do something about it. I was just an ordinary girl, partying hard and eating takeaways, but I put my everything into training for the Great North Run for Macmillan Cancer Support, which came to then writing about it. I wanted others to know that they were capable, too, and I wanted to inspire others. Life changed!” TOP 10K TIP: “Start small, grow big! Aim for three runs a week, no matter the mileage. Then give yourself a milestone to aim for every couple of weeks.”
