Members of the Month (August)
Congratulations to all the Members of the Month for August!
InnerFight: MICHAEL JONES
Michael has seen incredible progress since joining InnerFight.
After just a few months of commitment to his nutrition, exercise, and overall lifestyle, he has become a much better version of himself and is now 13 kg lighter!
He has transitioned from personal training to classes and has fully committed to improving his life.
Youth: MIKAIL ZAIDI
Mikail is a regular participant in our preteen classes. He has consistently demonstrated dedication to his training, even during the summer break.
Mikail's focus on mastering movements is impressive. He doesn't just go through the motions; he seeks to master form and technique and applies what he has learned in all of his workouts. This dedication has led to significant improvements in his technique and overall strength.
It has been a joy to watch Mikail's confidence and comfort grow within our programme. We are eager to see what he will accomplish this year!

Endurance: KAREN NICOL
If you set a goal that has meaning and you understand the meaning on a deeper level, the pursuit continues regardless. All trivial things become totally irrelevant. Even things that perhaps in the past may have derailed you are seen more as part of the journey rather than show stoppers.
A few weeks back, Kaz ran 6.7 km per hour for 40 consecutive hours and, in doing so, qualified for the UK Backyard team, one of only two females on the 15-strong team.
In the sport of Backyard Ultra, gender is not recognised despite the scientific evidence of the biological and hormonal differences between males and females. We are super proud of you, Kaz, and equally inspired by what you do in our sport of running and how you do it.
Ladies Run Club: JULIA FOURIE
Julia has not let the summer slow her progress down. By being on board with the 'LRC Summer Plan,' Julia has worked her running schedule around her work, family, and travel plans. Despite being overseas this month, she has actively contributed and shared in our LRC Online Forum and has consistently approached her training with honesty.
Well done, Julia, and welcome back to Dubai.
Endurance: - Ireland: CHARLOTTE RISPIN-DUREUIL
Charlotte has a big passion for adventure and finds solace in challenging herself. This month she took on what she described as 'the hardest but most rewarding challenge' she has ever done.
Charlotte has a great focus on what she wants from her training. She sets her vision, knuckles down to the work, and gets the task done.
Congratulations on Member of the Month. We are inspired by your most recent achievements in summiting Kang Yatse 1 - 6400m.

Endurance - New Zealand: SONJA VREUGDENHIL
Sonja approached me to not only help her level up her training but her mindset and wellbeing too. Her biggest hurdle, ensuring she recovers well to progress in training. Sonja has adapted seamlessly into some huge training blocks and August has been no exception to this.
This month, we have ramped up her bike and kayak sessions with a strength and power focus as well as a race-specific run build into Race Tekapo.
Anything I throw at Sonja in terms of training, mindset, different perspectives, you name it, she listens, acts, and adapts.
Thank you, Sonja, for being a flexible, responsive, and determined athlete. You are a huge role model for our community as you show vulnerability and athleticism. You’re a pleasure to coach one-to-one, and I can’t wait to see you thrive in your build-up races over the next few months.

Sonja approached me to not only help her level up her training but her mindset and wellbeing too. Her biggest hurdle, ensuring she recovers well to progress in training. Sonja has adapted seamlessly into some huge training blocks and August has been no exception to this.
This month, we have ramped up her bike and kayak sessions with a strength and power focus as well as a race-specific run build into Race Tekapo.
Anything I throw at Sonja in terms of training, mindset, different perspectives, you name it, she listens, acts, and adapts.
Thank you, Sonja, for being a flexible, responsive, and determined athlete. You are a huge role model for our community as you show vulnerability and athleticism. You’re a pleasure to coach one-to-one, and I can’t wait to see you thrive in your build-up races over the next few months.
