มุมมอง 3.4Kวันที่ผ่านมา

Every year for as long as I can remember, I have injured myself getting back into training, but this year, I am determined to stay fit and healthy, and with these six goals, I have the confidence I will get there!

I Broke The Mile World Record
มุมมอง 65K2 หลายเดือนก่อน
My running career has been full of many highs and lows but this has to be one of the best moments so far! To be able to call myself a World Record Holder in the sport that I love is honestly such a big honour. Don't get me wrong though this isn't all I've got the 1500m training has been pushing me from strength to strength and I'm very excited to where the next few years will take me! Thank you...

    Well done for the "dad" comments. So f*cking true. So important and so difficult to get the balance right. Wonderful to see a serious group in Brighton!! :) Other way of getting views = get Jemma on the vids sometimes (if you do track together...?) Really really hoping for the best for you guys.
