🌟 From Breathless Walks to Marathon Runs! 🏃♀️
Meet Jade Driscoll, a local inspiration who’s turned her running challenges into a vibrant community. Just a year ago, Jade found herself breathless on a stroll around Cardiff Bay. Today, she’s crushing marathons and showing the world that speed isn’t everything in running.
Despite not having a sporty background, Jade jumped from short runs to full marathons in just a year, all while juggling studies and life. What’s more? She’s created the South Wales Striders, a welcoming running club for people of all speeds and abilities.
Forget the glossy running influencers; Jade’s TikTok is all about the real deal. With over 11,000 followers, she’s spreading the message that running is for everyone, no fancy gear required! Her motivational story has spurred many to dust off their trainers and get moving.
Jade’s journey began after moving to Nottingham for her master’s degree. Feeling the need for a healthier routine post-exams, she began running again, quickly progressing to longer distances. Returning to Wales, she officially launched her running group, targeting those who, like her, felt left out by faster-paced clubs.
Now, Jade has not only completed the Cardiff Half Marathon but is also gearing up for the Brighton Marathon. Jade’s story is a refreshing reminder that running is a hobby to be enjoyed by everyone, regardless of speed or experience.
Her message? You don’t need expensive gear to start—just a pair of shoes and the determination to try. So, if you’re around South Wales and fancy a jog with like-minded folks, Jade’s got the club just for you!
Why not lace up and join the movement? Who knows, you might just catch the running bug too! 🏅💪 #RunningCommunity #Inspiration #JustStart
