I am studying A-Levels in maths, biology, chemistry and geography at Stockport Grammar School and maths is my favourite subject. I am interested in becoming a physiologist. I have just finished my A-levels, there were all pretty hard but I am just happy now that they are finished with. I will now just wait anxiously for the results. I hope to go on to study at Loughborough University. I know quite a few people there already so the experience will hopefully not be too daunting as it can be for some. This gives me a great aim of getting fit and ready for when I arrive at the university so I am easily able to slip into the running environment there.

Before getting so involved in athletics I used to play hockey and was on the county team and played for the North of England. I also like to take part in other sports such as tennis and swimming.

My favourite sports to watch are athletics and football and I am Manchester City fan.

Kelly is a great inspiration to everyone in sport no matter what level – it can be done! Her dedication and her success show us that it can be achieved by anyone with the right attitude and commitment. It is a privilege to be able to meet and speak with Kelly and to hopefully gain knowledge that will help further my athletics career.

On Athletics...

Running takes time and commitment and is a great part of my life. It sets me a goal. I enjoy the feeling of running and racing is fun too. I am kept motivated by the races yet to come and to qualify for.

Recently I have been injured with a stress fracture in my navicular bone in my foot. It was diagnosed in February. When it was first diagnosed I was upset and frustrated as I knew I would be sidelined for a very long time. However overall I have managed to stay motivated and the results from the summer have kept me going as it makes me even more determined to pick up where I let off and to become the top class athlete that I want to be in the future.
 
 
   
Music

I like all music really! I like things such as Jack Johnson for chilling out, then there's the Kooks to get you ready for sessions and races!! Or even a bit of Blue and the Spice Girls when getting ready for your girlie nights out.
