Mum has been running forever. Well, for a quarter of a century, but I was four when she first set foot on a treadmill so that’s forever in my eyes. Half a mile in she thought, ‘I like this!’ and kept it up to keep fit, venturing out on to the roads with my dad when he started running marathons to keep him company in his training.

Years of knee issues held me back from running much more than 5K, but I persisted and eventually I ran the half marathon I’d always dreamed of with Mum in 2019.
