Hello I’m Madia from @physio4meuk

I’m a mum of 3 kids and because of them I’ve became a regular runner. I enjoyed running since school/Uni days, but until I had my third child I wasn’t consistent.

I did a random 10km as a milestone to mark my child’s first birth in Sep 2019.

In Nov 2022 I did a random half marathon in my fav park, Battersea. Random as there was no training, no plan, just a get around and finish focus (which I don’t recommend!)

This did make me then wonder, if I did take running more seriously what could I achieve?

Unfortunately my postnatal recovery mentally was holding me back. So I set myself a goal to race bi-monthly to get over my social anxiety and imposter syndrome. In 2023 I attended 9 races 🤗. From 10km to half marathon distances.

By October I was loving the race vibes. The speed was improving ( 6 mins off 5km, 10 mins off 10km + 20 mins off HM) and my confidence was progressing.

By which point I decided to apply for a marathon place…. I got in 🙌🏼

So im half way through my London marathon 26.2 miles/42.2km) training for April 2024….ahhhhh! I’m so grateful to be able to run in the capital.

In the past year professionally I have helped many runners with their injury rehab, improving their running gait, looking at their training plans, building confidence, setting challenges and strengthen training.

It’s by far been the most satisfying part of my year. Clients literally from the couch to half marathon endurance in 9 months! Love it!

Despite the physical benefits of running, im equally here to support the mental wellbeing of our members. Especially supporting the postnatal/menopausal women to run for health and fun.

I’m so excited to bring joyful and safe running to our local community here in SW16.

Can’t wait to meet you all soon

Yes we did it!

When your run community and the wider ladies running community comes together, what a beautiful day it is 🫶🏽

Never did I think 3 years ago that seeing familiar face at a race/run would be such a wholesome experience! Now I can’t do without it.

Thank you ladies, thank you @womensrunseriesuk and massive thanks @runthroughuk for always supporting us 💖

Thank you @natasha.prayag & @aisha for the videos 🎥

4 of our junior SW16RC members took on their first Aquathon today.

7 year olds did 50m swim, independent transition into running 500m

Our 8-9 category did a 100m swim and 1000m run

11-12 age category did 200m swim and a 2000m run

The course was hilly and was open to public, so plenty of navigation required.

So proud of the 4 boys representing the crew today! Turning up at a competitive event with no official training but a willingness to experience a Aquathon !!!

Our mini champions! ⭐

As a running group for parents, we thrive when our kids show interest in sports and fitness.

So no sport is off limits. Today the SW16 RC parents were supporting our kids doing a Aquathon in local brockwell park.

That’s a swim in the lido followed by a run in the hilly park!

Congratulations to the kids and parents for their determination, early morning commitment and achievement today 🏆

Congratulations to Dermot one of our run leader. This weekend was the 2nd time he’s attempted the Man vs Horse race.

Dermot participated in the mixed relay and his team came 1st in their category 🥳 Congratulations to him and fellow runners.

What an incredible concept, held in wales for the past 40 years! With only 4 times a solo runner has beat the horses 🐎 😍. 2 of those being this and last year… man is definitely getting faster 🤩
