Clarissa ran the Birmingham 10K today 🏃♀️✨
Last April, she came to me straight after ACL & meniscus surgery, working alongside her physio Paul. Learning to trust your body again after something like that is no small thing what you once took for granted suddenly becomes both a physical and mental challenge.
Fast forward to now… Clarissa is up at 6am training, juggling a work schedule that takes her all over Europe, and being a mum to two teens. No excuses, just consistency.
She’s proof that if you set your mind to something, you can make it happen 💫
There have been moments where words have been spoken about babying her knee, she can go out and run or smash a class , but something as simple as getting off the floor or hopping in PT can feel like the bigger hurdle but she smashes it. Totally normal after surgery, and something we’ve worked through together.
Clarissa is everyone’s biggest cheerleader and an absolute pleasure to train (when I can keep her focused and away from the latest sparkly distraction 🤣).
She only started running in January…
Today: Birmingham 10K ✔️
Next up: Solihull Half Marathon & ATHX 🔥
Keep shining, party girl
