Three months ago, Ella started my Couch to 5k (3.1miles) programme having not run since she was very young.
From our first session, I could see she had a natural ability, but it has been her commitment, determination and sweet nature that have made this journey so special.
Ella has shown incredible resilience and never stopped believing in herself.
Yesterday, we celebrated her achievement with a Parkrun at Queen Victoria Country Park, Netley. Having reached the 5k distance a couple of weeks ago, Ella was excited to run alongside others and experience the amazing Parkrun community for the first time.
These photos capture the moment perfectly; she finished strong with a fantastic sprint!
I am incredibly proud of everything you have achieved Ella. It has been an absolute pleasure to coach you, you have grown in belief of your self and the enjoyment of running. You have shown that progress happens when we focus on what is possible rather than what might stand in our way. I hope this is just the beginning of your running journey.
Please join me in congratulating Ella Pinfold on an incredible achievement 💖
