I am a Lirf......

[Curlygurly2]

A Leader in Running Fitness. I went on a course last weekend to get the qualification to teach new runners, and I am going to be taking beginners, following C25K. It's a new initiative by Cambridge Council, called Let's Get Moving, they have paid for my training, and I just need to wait for my licence before I get my own group of baby runners! So excited!

EDIT

I forgot to mention that the trainer on the course dubbed me "Slow coach" he said I was the most important person on that course that day, if new runners see a coach as slow as me, they will think - if she can do it, I can.... I think I'm flattered... not sure though! He said I should get a jacket with that on the back!

Nice one!

[IannodaTruffe Mentor]

Nice one Curly!!

Where will your running take you next?

[Curlygurly2 Graduate in reply to IannodaTruffe]

Cambridge Half Marathon I hope!

[Decker]

Wow Curly - that's great! I think you'll need to make a podcast next

[Curlygurly2 Graduate in reply to Decker]

Yes, I'm already planning it, it's called "RUN you 'orrible lot!" (just kidding!)

[Decker in reply to Curlygurly2]

haha! - might work for some but not so much others

[Realfoodieclub Graduate]

Woohooo that is great news, I am so pleased for you and your new recruits have the best leader.

[Irishprincess Graduate]

Wow, that's brilliant CG! What a fab thing to do, you'll be a great coach xxx

[Midriff_Crisis Graduate]

That's great news. I've never met a LIRF before! Sounds like you're going to be an ace coach. Best wishes for your new role!

[Anniemurph Graduate]

Fantastic! - but like you I am a bit doubtful about that trainer! Slow is great, so what's the deal? A bit of a double-edged compliment!
