After working with Physio Coach Michael, Emma was able to overcome her back pain and return to running and the gym. Emma is not one to shy away from a challenge and had her eyes set on completing the 10km run at the Gold Coast Marathon Event. Michael wanted to challenge Emma to Dream Big and encouraged her to sign up for the half marathon! At first Emma was worried she wouldn’t be able to achieve this as she was a mother of 3 boys and thought that she was too old. However, having the belief of the PEAK tribe behind her, she began her journey of working towards her Experience Not Felt Possible.
Emma had a run assessment with Podiatry Coach Chelsea and then the rest was history. She signed up to twice weekly Stride Club with both Chelsea and Lachie where she not only became a regular but a key member of the running community at PEAK. Emma is the first person to cheer others on and give them Kudos on Strava. Throughout the year Emma attended 60 Stride Club sessions!
In the lead up to the Gold Coast Half Marathon in July 2021, Emma attended Stride Club twice a week as well as every Sunday team long run. Emma’s commitment to her training was second to none which made it all the more disappointing when the half marathon was cancelled 4 days out due to COVID. This did not stop Emma! She still travelled to the Gold Coast and completed the 21.1km by herself with her husband on a bike behind. Emma hadn’t given up her goal of completing the 21.1km in an event setting and signed up to the Sunshine Coast Half Marathon which she completed in October 2021.
Having never considered herself a runner, completing 10km once felt like it was an impossible task. Emma not only tackled but conquered the 21.1km which was previously an Experience Not Felt Possible! We are so proud of Emma and are grateful to have her a part of our PEAK community. Emma is also incredibly proud of herself and wants to encourage others to remember that age is just a number and that we should not let it limit our thinking or goal setting.
