Meet Sophie, track athlete, fitness junkie and all round globe-trotter. We’ve teamed up with her to get a glimpse into her world, her love of DASH and her top tips for running.

“A little bit about me…

I’m a student currently studying in central London & my philosophy is (I know overused) but no pain no gain.

I always push myself to the limit, not just physically but mentally too. As a 400m sprint athlete having the right attitude is most of the battle – your mindset is everything, it’s the only way you get the most out of anything, I know it’s tough to do but it’s totally worth it.

Running is something that I have always done since I was a child so it has seemed only natural to carry this on. Running only requires a pair of trainers, a positive mentality and off you go, it’s simple!

I’ll be checking in over the summer, with my hints and tips to get the most from your training, so keep your eyes out for my posts, and don’t forget check out the DASH classes near you”
