2:26:28 in Valencia - 7th* on the all-time UK women’s marathon rankings 🤩

I had a dream marathon: Low heart rate, minimal cardiac drift & groups to hide in!

Huge congrats @cockram_natasha What a run!

*I was in super shoes & half the top 10 all-time runs were without springs

My 87 year old grandma, Ruth Schwiening, spoke at the Sheffield Winter Garden for Holocaust Memorial Day. A link to the recording:

Ruth starts her talk at 0:13:22 into the video.

I am a very proud granddaughter.

As a female endurance athlete I am insulted by the suggestion that my physiology means that I cannot/should not race the same distance as a male athlete.
