Four years 💛

When I first started running, I can’t tell you how little self believe I had, there were so many moments when I doubted myself, questioned my abilities, my purpose… but somewhere deep down I also wondered if I was capable of more.

For four years, every start line, finish line, every tear, every time I have been a nervous wreck, lululemon believed in me even when I didn’t fully believe in myself.

Not many people know that sophieecollins and the lululemon team started chatting to me before I represented England, before I had any social media following, before I really had anything to show for what I believed I was capable of, but from that day, it felt like we were on a mission together. To get people moving, to inspire, to be the best person and runner I could be. Re-signing for a 4th year feels as special as the 1st, because it’s so much more than a partnership, it’s a relationship that’s been nurtured for 4 years. It’s being seen, supported, challenged, and encouraged to grow into someone I once only dreamed of becoming.

To the team who continues to get me, champion me, and remind me of what’s possible: thank you. You saw something in me before I could see it for myself.

I could have never dreamed that a love for running would open doors like this, connect me with such an amazing community, and become my whole entire life.

Year 4. Insanely grateful, always humbled, and more motivated than ever.
