SPOTLIGHT ON...

LAUREN GREGORY

This issue, PT Lauren Gregory put together

the first circuit of our new series of Body

Blast workouts (check it out on page 17).

She is an avid runner and founder of the

award-winning women’s running group Run

Like A Girl.

HOW DID YOU FIRST BECOME INVOLVED IN

THE FITNESS INDUSTRY?

Back in 1999, I was heavily involved in

kickboxing by way of competing and also

teaching. The reward I felt from helping

others achieve things they never imagined

possible gave me such a thrill, I just knew it

was what I wanted to do. So I went back to

college to get qualified and landed a job as

a Fitness Instructor.

WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO SET UP RUN LIKE A

GIRL IN JULY 2015?

After having my first child, running became

such an important part of my life – it was

an output for the stresses of trying to

balance work and family life. I wanted to

give other women the opportunity of such a

balance and to provide a safe and friendly

platform for them to do so. Although the

initial concept was my idea, my friend,

Rebecca Chumun, was keen to help me

with managing the group – we have since

worked very closely together.

WHAT ARE YOUR RUNNING GOALS FOR 2017?

I’ve just started training for the London

Marathon which is also part of my ‘bigger

picture’ training for ‘The Wall’, a 69-mile

ultra marathon I’m doing in June – one of

three ultras I have planned for this year.
