Endurance: Andri Guðmundsson
When you set a goal that has true meaning, are willing to train hard, and face tough questions, remarkable things start to happen. Twelve months ago, Andri had a personal best of 31 backyard loops (6.7 km per hour) but aspired to represent the Icelandic team in the 2024 Satellite Championships. On 19th October 2024, representing his country, he completed 60 backyard loops. No Weakness.

Latifa’s energy for life and passion for running are incredibly inspiring. We know there are many more races you wish to tackle this season, Latifa, and we’re excited to help you achieve your goals.
No Weakness.
Endurance - Ireland: Vanessa Devin
After two major injuries and moments of doubt, it would have been easy to think that running just wasn’t for you. But you've picked up the pieces, broken down barriers, and emerged stronger on the other side. This month, we want to commend you for your mental strength, patience, and relentless will to keep moving forward.
Throughout October, we’ve watched you run pain-free, smiling through every session. Not only have you returned to running, but you’re excelling and making significant progress—all while staying patient and embracing the journey.
Have a great week. No Weakness.
Endurance - New Zealand: Jacqui Williams
Congratulations to Jacqui Williams for being our Member of the Month for October.
Jacqui has built up impressive running mileage this month as she gears up for the Queenstown Marathon in November.
After joining our Trail Camp in July, she was inspired to enter the Taupō 24km race this October. With over 500m of climbing, she conquered the race in just over 3 hours, putting her fuelling, legs, and mind to the ultimate test. She has consistently nailed her long runs each week, with last weekend marking her longest run before beginning her taper for the race.
Jacqui – you’ve worked hard to fit runs around your work and social life, balancing it all with a huge smile. You are committed to improving every aspect of your running by joining our Strength for Endurance classes too. We love seeing you do what you love, and I’ve enjoyed helping you grow in running confidence. Now you know that you can run far, run fast, and enjoy it!
Thank you for the gratitude you show for the sense of belonging and encouragement you feel from our community. Congrats on a fantastic marathon build-up, and we can’t wait to see you celebrate your hard work at the Queenstown Marathon next month!

Jacqui has built up impressive running mileage this month as she gears up for the Queenstown Marathon in November.
After joining our Trail Camp in July, she was inspired to enter the Taupō 24km race this October. With over 500m of climbing, she conquered the race in just over 3 hours, putting her fuelling, legs, and mind to the ultimate test. She has consistently nailed her long runs each week, with last weekend marking her longest run before beginning her taper for the race.
Jacqui – you’ve worked hard to fit runs around your work and social life, balancing it all with a huge smile. You are committed to improving every aspect of your running by joining our Strength for Endurance classes too. We love seeing you do what you love, and I’ve enjoyed helping you grow in running confidence. Now you know that you can run far, run fast, and enjoy it!
Thank you for the gratitude you show for the sense of belonging and encouragement you feel from our community. Congrats on a fantastic marathon build-up, and we can’t wait to see you celebrate your hard work at the Queenstown Marathon next month!
