Emily Marchant , The Run of my Life!
On Sunday 21st April 2024 65,725 people toed the start line of one of the most iconic races in the world, the TCS London Marathon. Out of this runners 28,276 of those runners were women , which in itself is absolutely phenomenal. But for us, even more so, is that the 7th women overall to cross that finish line on the day was our very own Emily Marchant. If you dont know Emily, she is one of the most dedicated and ambitious athletes you will meet. And if shes not lecturing or writing research papers in her day job, she is probably out on the Gower trails and roads, training! She is pretty good triathlete , with a number of incredible accolades to her name (3rd overall Ironman Wales 2023 and winner of age group). And with big sights to do well within age placement at the Ironman World Championships in Nice in September of this year. But it is no secret that Emily is an assassin when it comes to the run and she is know for hunting down or widening the gap for any competition on the run
