Lucy Marathon 2011Congratulations to Lucy

Lucy Marathon

 

 

Better Body Shop trainer Lucy Curtis wants to say a big thank you to everyone who so generously sponsored her to take part in the London Marathon this year. And we'd like to say congratulations to Lucy for having completed the 26.2 mile course - the third time she has run the event in the capital.

 

This year was the first time she completed the distance with her younger sister, Sophie. Lucy pictured above, said: "It was a blisteringly hot day but we loved it. In his heyday, our Dad, Keith, was an elite athlete who ran marathons all the time, so we were following in his footsteps. Sophie and I crossed the finish line together holding hands. It was a great feeling!"

 

In her marathon, Lucy raised funds for VICTA, the charity Visually Impaired Children Taking Action.  As well as being an accomplished runner and a gymnastics instructor, Lucy also has experience of running many different distances, including 5K, 10K and 10 miles. If you have any questions about running, or you'd like to book a training session with Lucy to improve your running technique, email info@betterbodyshop.co.uk
