Nina is a qualified LiRF- Leader in Running Fitness with England Athletics and a volunteer Run Leader with local RunTogether running group RunWallingford. She took up running for the first time at the age of 41 encouraged by a good friend who needed a running buddy. Nina enjoyed it so much she signed up and encouraged a group of girl friends to join her for a 5k Race for Life, followed by a local 10k run and half marathon four months later!
She was hooked and her running journey was underway…
Nina is a keen trail runner and has since completed multiple 10k and half marathons progressing to a full marathon and five Ultras including 100k non-stop Race to the Stones!
Nina’s passion is supporting and encouraging others to get out running. So much so she started her own running sports shop Runwize where she stocks running apparel and shoes along with offering running analysis, advice, a ladies running group and guided runs.
Her running journey has not been plain sailing as Nina has run through having eye Cancer, a fractured pelvis and now the menopause!
