Proud moment

I recently competed in my first Hyrox event. It’s a combination of running and functional fitness – something I never imagined I could do, but I loved it. I plan to do another Hyrox this year and am looking for more fitness challenges to conquer!

Most memorable day

It’s a cliche, but probably my wedding day. It was so special to be surrounded by everyone we love. I was lucky enough to get married at St Paul’s Cathedral so I still get a buzz every time I see St Paul’s in pictures or on TV.
