August 2024
This month, we’re shining the spotlight on an athlete who truly embodies dedication, consistency, and resilience: Louise Lewis.
Louise’s running journey didn’t start out like many others. In fact, she disliked running during her school years. It was only a few years ago that she decided to lace up her shoes and give it another go. Fast forward to today, and it’s hard to believe she once disliked the sport. Since we started working together over a year ago, Louise has transformed into one of the most hard-working and focused athletes I’ve ever had the pleasure of coaching.
What makes Louise stand out isn’t just her results—though those are undeniably impressive. She’s PB’d in every distance she’s raced since we teamed up, an achievement that reflects both her dedication and the quality of her training. But beyond the numbers, it’s her mindset that truly sets her apart. Living outside of a big city, she does most of her runs solo. Come rain, wind, or (occasionally) sunshine, Louise tackles each run with determination and gives it her all, no matter the conditions. It’s not easy to stay motivated when you’re training alone, but Louise rises to the challenge, time and time again.
The progress she’s made over the past year is incredible, and what’s even more exciting is that we’re only getting started. We’ve got some big goals on the horizon, and I have no doubt that Louise is going to keep achieving new heights. She’s earned every bit of her success so far, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for her.
Congratulations, Louise—you’ve truly earned Athlete of the Month! Keep up the amazing work.
