InnerFight: Kahina Allou
Kahina has been excelling in classes throughout October, making no excuses as she balances pregnancy and workouts!
She shows up, gets it done, and does so with a smile on her face. Thank you for being such an inspiration, Kahina!
Youth: Jaidaa Mesehly
Meet Jaidaa Mesehly, our inspiring October Member of the Month! Jaidaa, a Heroes of Hope athlete, embodies the spirit of perseverance and determination.
She began her journey with us almost four years ago, aiming to build strength and independence through one-on-one training. Since then, she has consistently exceeded expectations. From conquering everyday tasks to embarking on a solo six-week internship in Turkey this past summer, Jaidaa has not only achieved her goals but has also become a beacon of inspiration to others.
Upon her return from Turkey in mid-September, Jaidaa immediately resumed training, setting her sights on the Games of Hope and Battle Cancer. Her performances in both events were nothing short of incredible. Jaidaa's unwavering commitment, determined spirit, and infectiously positive attitude are truly the driving forces behind her success.
Jaidaa proves that with dedication and self-belief, anything is possible. She is a shining example to us all, reminding us that we can achieve great things when we strive to improve our lives. Congratulations, Jaidaa!
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.

Not only does she drive from Abu Dhabi for each LRC session, but this month, she also took her first solo international trip, joining us in Munich for IFE on Tour, where she ran the 10K. 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!

InnerFight: Kahina Allou
Kahina has been excelling in classes throughout October, making no excuses as she balances pregnancy and workouts!
She shows up, gets it done, and does so with a smile on her face. Thank you for being such an inspiration, Kahina!
Youth: Jaidaa Mesehly
Meet Jaidaa Mesehly, our inspiring October Member of the Month! Jaidaa, a Heroes of Hope athlete, embodies the spirit of perseverance and determination.
She began her journey with us almost four years ago, aiming to build strength and independence through one-on-one training. Since then, she has consistently exceeded expectations. From conquering everyday tasks to embarking on a solo six-week internship in Turkey this past summer, Jaidaa has not only achieved her goals but has also become a beacon of inspiration to others.
Upon her return from Turkey in mid-September, Jaidaa immediately resumed training, setting her sights on the Games of Hope and Battle Cancer. Her performances in both events were nothing short of incredible. Jaidaa's unwavering commitment, determined spirit, and infectiously positive attitude are truly the driving forces behind her success.
Jaidaa proves that with dedication and self-belief, anything is possible. She is a shining example to us all, reminding us that we can achieve great things when we strive to improve our lives. Congratulations, Jaidaa!
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.
Ladies Run Club: Latifa AlMansouri
Latifa joined LRC in March this year to surround herself with like-minded women. Not only does she drive from Abu Dhabi for each LRC session, but this month, she also took her first solo international trip, joining us in Munich for IFE on Tour, where she ran the 10K. 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!
