‘You can’t beat that runner’s high!’

For as long as I can remember, I have loved sport. I took up running when I was 19 and at Leeds University because it was an easy way to get around, left me feeling good and there were hardly any other fitness classes available. I also had started to put on weight as a student because I wasn’t eating well and was eating too many sweets. Running kept me in shape.

Getting up at the crack of dawn can be tough but I am a morning person so quickly feel awake, and then I love to run early. I am on the radio every morning hosting the Smooth Radio breakfast show, so once I finish work, I run my commute home to southwest London. It really energises me and I love that part of my morning. In fact, I just love the feeling I get after a run. For me, the runner’s high is the closest you’ll get to feeling like a superhero – you feel invincible, like nothing can take the shine away
