Maxine or as we call her Max, first joined the couch to 30 minutes course in May 2022 following a difficult time in her personal life. She found the group very supportive and encouraged her to reach her potential. Maxine enjoys the support and family atmosphere of the group. Following the first completed couch to 30 minutes course, she finally struck up courage to join 5-10km after much encouraged and has now, never looked back. She signed up to do her first organised 10km in Cheltenham and accomplished this with pride. She then started training as a run leader and now leads the joggers group. Maxine is now attending her fourth couch to 30 minutes course and is having as much fun as she did at the beginning and is still challenging herself to higher goals.
