Hi, I'm Sammie, I found my love of running whilst training for my first marathon, yes you read that right, it was only during the training that I started to enjoy running, and that was thanks to the amazing and supportive club, Rejoov. I decided to run my first marathon to raise money for cancer research after losing my goddaughter in 2016. I had no idea about how I needed to prepare for a marathon so I found Rejoov, and under the guidance of Greta and her program, I completed the Blackmores marathon in 2017.

I agreed that I would run 1 marathon and that was it, I've now done 4 and love it. Rejoov is such an awesome group, fostering support and positive vibes. I've made lots of friends (and even found my partner) at Rejoov. I love the Rejoov social long runs at the weekend, and also love the quick pace practice at the athletics track. I have my Run Leader Level 1 coaching accreditation, so come and chat to me about anything, especially if you're doing your first marathon, I have lots of advice.
