Please join me in welcoming the newest fabulous Ambassador to our team, GIVE IT UP FOR...
β limberlou !!!!!! β
limberlou first started C25K in 2018, and is a kind and thoughtful runner who shares her knowledge and experience on all the running communities on Health Unlocked. Check out her posts as she revisits the C25K programme - but watch out for her sports bra πππ
You will see her around here wearing her shiny new Ambassador badge - please say hi!
Well thank you for those kind words roseabi, and Iβm still not sure how I came to be included in this merry band of Ambassadors but Iβll do all I can to help and support anyone in our lovely community. Just realised what a dreadful profile pic that is ( note to self ... new profile pic ASAP!!!) . It didnβt look quite so bad when it was tiny π€£
Iβm a very amateur runner compared to the rest of the Ambassadors, with their Hms, Marathons, and even Ultras in some cases. And Iβm not one for competitive races as I much prefer to run alone really, at my own pace, but Iβm becoming quite an expert on the IC and coming back from illness and injury.
Anything I can offer to help anyone who is struggling or just bewildered by something that they have come across Iβm happy to oblige
I definitely feel you - I hate pics of me and my profile pic hasn't changed in the 5+ years I've been here π I can remove your pic altogether if you prefer!?
Nah youβre ok. I just manage to usually be behind the camera. I can look in the mirror and thinkβ oh you look nice today β and then someone takes a pic and Iβve somehow gurned and my hair has stood on end in the 2 seconds while they have clicked the button.
Yay, great choice! Limberlou, most people on here won't become marathon or even HM runners (including me), and will be looking for the everyday commonsense advice and support you are so good at. Sports bra notwithstanding π
He he. Those sports bras do cause a few problems. Not as embarrassing as my zip up bra unzipping during parkrun though. I have to add, itβs now been replaced.
Yes I ended up walking until the last bit then jogged with an arm across the chest holding them in place. Someone came up to offer help, thinking I was having a heart attack! π€£π€£
If wearing a zip up bra, double check itβs pulled right up and press it down
Welcome! I wanted to say it's lovely to have an ambassador who understands my level of running, but that sounds rude to all the other ambassadors who give their time and wonderful advice, and have helped me so much. You know what I mean; you're all wonderful and invaluable. Thank you. X
