Client Success Story
Anne-Sophie

I’ve struggled with Hypothyroidism since my early twenties. It’s basically an autoimmune disorder in which the deficiency of thyroid hormones can disrupt such things as heart rate, body temperature and all aspects of your metabolism. Major symptoms include fatigue, cold sensitivity, unexplained weight gain and depression.

Battling anxiety and struggling with my weight which was close to 90kgs at the time I sought help and my therapist recommended that I start running… I didn’t love it at the beginning but slowly I became absolutely addicted. I ran my first ever 10k in December 2018 and met Jase shortly after when I first joined Rozelle Run Club.

I feel so much stronger now. I never used to do strength work or hill repeats or speed stuff. I’d go out and run 5 times per week at the same distance and at the same pace.

Thanks to my ELEVATE Training Plan my weekly runs are more varied which also makes them more fun and enjoyable! It also makes for smart training which has really quickly increased my overall strength and endurance and made my running so much more efficient.

Life now is pretty epic!

I get to run a number of kilometres per week that I never thought I’d be able to manage!

Running has also introduced me to a great community and I’ve met so many like-minded people who have become friends. Which was amazing when, like me, you are from another part of the world and moved alone to a new country.
