Phenomenal success story. "I am an Asian woman and proud of what I have achieved".

We had some lovely feedback tonight from one of our regular runners at our Old Trafford club. She was happy for us to share this photo and her comments below, but asked us to withhold her name.

"Coming to #MileShyClub has really changed me as a person; it has made me a better human being.

I'm a lot more confident now in myself and have developed so much more confidence when going outside. I even go out for a run by myself and no longer care what my neighbours think. I never thought I'd feel like that.

My kids and me have step trackers on our watches and I am always at the top! I never thought I'd be fitter than my kids.

I am an Asian woman and proud of what I have achieved. I keep telling my friends to come try out the club, and they're telling me it's not for them but they've started to go out for walks instead and I know I've inspired them to get more active. I really hope one day they'll come along and find as much enjoyment and fulfillment from the club as I do."

Thank you for sharing your story with us.

Trainee coaches being put through their paces!

Check out trainee coach Jo at our Partington session this evening! Fantastic to see new coaches getting trained by England Athletics and then mentored by our experienced #MileShyClub coaches. We have FOUR new coaches coming through the ranks, currently being mentored across all clubs. What's the most important trait we look for in our coaches? Kindness, patience and understanding.

Wilmslow 10k completed (and England might win the footie this evening!)

Mega well done to our runners at the Wilmslow 10k this morning, what a hot one!

Our runners are shining examples of what can be achieved by working hard and it's just fabulous that they can say, on the day history might be made, that they ran 6.2 miles (10k) in the morning.

That's awesome, don't you think?

Good luck England this evening!

Beginner TRAIL running sessions started today!

Our Summer trail runs started today and it was GLORIOUS! We ran through fields, babbling brooks, climbed stiles and even ran (mostly!) up hills! What a fab way to spend a Sunday morning with lots of lovely people too! Mega thanks to coaches Bram and Charlotte for arranging!

We'll be doing it all again next month so keep in touch on our Facebook group if you want in!

Dear Andy Burnham, we have to stop meeting like this!

We think it's fair to say that @AndyBurnhamGM is an honourary member of the @MileShyClub! We have bumped into Andy multiple times the last 18 months AND he voted for us to be shortlisted in the Trafford Active Fund! What a great guy! Great to see him again today with coaches Sam, Dennis, Ian, Kath, Sasha and Emily (L-R)

Couch to 5k runners graduate at Old Trafford club!!!

Last night a few of our Couch to 5kers from the Old Trafford club completed their first 5k! We know with it being half term lots of you were away so we're looking forward to celebrating your success next week.

We had a BRILLIANT time at our mini "fun run" despite the warm weather and it was great to see some members of the Old Trafford community get behind us and cheer us along!

Massive thank you to the coaches for organising the event, especially to coach Sam who brought a water station and ice pops. Just perfect!
