FitspoHaving started running in 2013 to try and help me with some issues I was having with my mental health, I ended up with an injury and enforced break in 2014. In May of that year I kicked out my then-partner of 12 years and started doing basic HIIT routines at home. I lost a little bit of weight and got bitten by the fitness bug, but failed to take it further. Then, in April 2016 after a period of bad life luck I lost my oldest cat unexpectedly, and feeling bereft I spent three days sat in my pants weeping.

I called a local free weights gym and went over for an induction session. Several years later I visit the gym at least 3 days a week and I’m crushing PBs on a regular basis. In addition to my weight training, I run, participate in martial arts, and spent time learning to pole dance, play netball and generally move as much as possible. As an unexpected side effect…
