THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM
So many emotions ran through my mind when I the finish line of my first marathon but one thought stood out: I’d achieved something I never thought possible for me. This was a life-changing moment. It gave me self-confidence that has lasted to this day. And in the 15 years since, working as a fitness journalist, I have interviewed countless people who describe the same feeling. It may be a cliché but it’s true: you never know what you can achieve until you try.
Our cover star Gemma Hockett epitomises this. First she said she wanted to run a sub-four-hour marathon on her first attempt. People tried to manage her expectations, but she achieved it. Then she wanted to run sub-3:30 – and did that, too. Then she set her sights on going sub-three. OK, that took a few goes – but with determination and hard work, Gemma achieved that, too.
In fact, every month in Women’s Running, you’ll find this theme. From women running their first steps after serious illness, to those achieving times and distances they didn’t realise they could. At our WRRS events this year (see page 28) there are thousands more women making their own impossible dreams a reality. So, if you’re having a moment of self-doubt, flick through these pages and you’ll find the inspiration you need to keep running.
