  • Summary

  • Leanne Shrive's running journey began with the humble 5K, however, it quickly snowballed into something much more. After completing her first 5K, Leanne set herself a challenge of running 100K within 3 months and when she'd managed to achieve that, her hunger to find a bigger challenge drove her to complete 12 events within 12 months, building up to a half marathon. It's this drive that pushed Leanne to sign up for her first ultramarathon and marathon (in that order), which she completed all within two years of running.

    Today, Balega Ambassador Leanne co-runs a social running group which she started back in late 2019. With over 250 members of all abilities and fitness levels, and a new Couch to 5K course, Leanne and her friends organise regular social running events, often incorporating a run with a meet-up at the pub, to make running more sociable. 

    In this episode, Leanne talks about her running journey, as well as her drive to find bigger and more challenging goals and we discuss the importance of a social running group.
