Running with Kelly

Pre run photo with family and Dame Kelly Holmes

A different sort of run today. No timing, no pacing, no pressures, just 5k around a park with Kelly Holmes. Fitness Rewards planned this charity event to support Kelly, and it was a great opportunity to meet some of the Fitness Rewards guys before a blast around the park with Kelly.

At the start with Stuart an Jemma

My lovely wife was looking after the kids so I could run around with Kelly. I lined up at the front with Stuart and Jemma but Kelly then joined the back. I had intended to run around with her, but knew I wasn’t going to get close enough for a selfie so just enjoyed the run. I didn’t go all out, but pushed myself for a relatively high intensity run, finishing in around 22 minutes.

Receiving my medal from Kelly

Kelly ran the first of three laps, and then handed out medals to finishers which was lovely. Kelly is a true running legend and it’s always an honour to be in her presence.


The guys from #RunReigate helped with the organisation of the event, and I can’t wait until next week to take part for the 3rd time. Kelly will be at the start again, along with lots from the running community #ukrunchat #breatheunity #racecheck #runmummyrun #fitnessrewards

It’s the last chance to enter so get involved. I will be pacing again for #xempo and you can see last years recap HERE.

Fitness Rewards dream team

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to Fitness Rewards for putting on this event. I have been a member for over a year, and I just wish I found out about them sooner. I have top Life Insurance cover, but actually save money. I have a watch I would never have afforded, I save money on Starbucks and go to the cinema so much more than I ever used to, all because it’s free as an active reward. There are so many more benefits, find out more HERE.
