Hi Karen, tell us… what do you for a living?
I’m a Psychotherapist
How and why did you first get involved with RRC?
I responded to a post from Rowan on the What's on in Ramsbottom Facebook page a few years ago to go for a speculative social run from the
Brewery and went on the first run before RRC was born. I've dipped in and out since then but after joining Ann Butler and John Hall's 10 weeks to 10k group a couple of summers ago, I've prioritised it more and never looked back. What a life changing club!
What is your favourite running memory or moment?
There are loads but the top 2 have to be running past the RRC cheer station on the last leg of the Manchester Marathon relay last year and last year's Tor Mile: just a ridiculous and bonkers race but such great fun!
