Virginia Pawlyn was a very inspiring lady for me to interview! She ran the Jersey marathon this month. It was her first ever marathon and she completed it in 4.26. Virginia started running 4 years ago and decided that she would celebrate turning 70 this year by running a marathon! She spoke about the support of her running clubs and how vital the people had been to encourage and to train with and of the help of her personal trainer Dan Fivey http://www.danfiveypersonaltraining.co.uk who had her doing many hill reps and ran some of her long runs with her.

Virginia said that she feels better now at 70 than at any other time in her life…

She has stretched herself to achieve something she never would have conceived possible and her message to us all is to 'try it' - If you want to do something - then try it and find out what is possible.
