On The Move

The idea of this blog is to inspire others to have a go and get active to try new stuff and dare to dream!  The main contributors are  Juliet Sidney AKA The Pocket Rocket who at the age of 46 rocked up to a Welsh Master Athletics event and tried out the discuss, javelin, long jump, 200m and 400m and was hooked.  It turned out she was reasonably fast and fairly quickly decided to embark on the crazy idea she could some day be world champion in her age category.  She set no timescale for this just goals to improve and see how close she could get... Join her journey and be inspired to start your own!

Sarah Louise Francis, AKA the Trail Blazer, the Pocket Rockets sister in law and friend, an adventurous spirit with endurance power likes the longer stuff.  Originally a gym bunny until the pocket rocket introduced her to parkrun January 2010, completing her first half marathon in October that year.  2014 was an “Eventfull” year, with different challenge every month such as 10k run, OCR’s and half marathons.  In 2015 she joined LLiswerry running club and saw her first marathon later that year.   In 2016 she also competed in her first coastal run and fell run as well as her 2nd and hopefully 3rd marathon, going forward for 2017 will see her training for her first ultra-marathon.

Neil Sidney, AKA Insane Bolt, has been running for several years and in 2014 things changed when he joined Lliswerry Running Club.  Joining a club gave Neil more purpose to his running and a great feeling of belonging to something special, his Lliswerry family.  He has definitely grown into his running with 2016 being his most successful and enjoyable year.  He gained PBs from 5K to Half marathon an became a qualified Run Leader.  He now supports Couch to 5K beginners and others within the running club, something that gives him a great deal of satisfaction.
