Runner Feature - Nadia Said RunThrough Running Club London

In 2014 I weighed 110kg

I was not happy with my weight and consequently my health deteriorated. I couldn’t wear what I wanted, I did not like looking at myself in the mirror and to top it all off started having hormone imbalance problems.

One morning I decided I cannot take this anymore and decided to try my hardest to lose weight and go on a diet which I did. I changed my eating habits, what I eat, how I eat it and started exercising!

I started to run and I would go out every night for 20mins with a few stops to begin with and then 30mins with a less breaks and then 40mins with one or two stops and then after a few months I had improved so much that I could run an hour with no stops – It was a great feeling…and I lost a huge 45kg in weight!

I entered my first ever 10k race in March 2016 and decided to get sponsorship to help stay motivated and managed to raise £200 for Sports relief. To this day I have done six 10k race, half tough Mudder run and 2 Ealing half marathons, with my last half completed in a time of two hours and 11 minutes which beat that of the previous year by 5mins!
I’m addicted to Running because I absolutely love the Feeling I get every time I run. I have now decided and started to exercise five times a week and run at least twice a week every week and hope to continue this for the rest of my life!!
