March Members of the Month

InnerFight: GEORGE SMITH

George's dedication and positive energy make him a standout in every class. Always showing up with a smile and great vibes, he’s been committed and consistent, which has led to him making incredible progress across the board! Keep crushing it, George!

Youth: HUGO BISMAN

Our March Youth Member of the Month is Hugo Bisman! Hugo, a member of our preteens program, has been consistent and dedicated to his training for the past two years. He comes to each class with a positive attitude and a desire to improve. This month, we were excited to see his hard work translate into noticeable progress in his strength. Keep it up, Hugo!

Endurance: Stephen Beard

Running across a country and the Marathon Des Sables are bucket-list, lifetime goals. Imagine booking them in your diary two weeks apart.
‍

Stephen has just finished a 10-day, 60km-per-day crossing of the seven Emirates on a quest to raise 1 million AED for Dubai autism charities. His lead-up to this challenge was often unconventional, with a hectic travelling schedule and family life with three young children, but the hard training was logged—often when most were sleeping!
‍

For 10 days, I watched him pound the tarmac as though it was the first 2km of a marathon. His form on day 10 was identical to that on day 1.
‍

He is a very worthy athlete of the month, and I am excited—and perhaps a little nervous—for the challenges he has already started planning after he returns from Morocco.

Ladies Run Club: Ambira Kumar

Ambira recently rejoined LRC after a few months’ break. During her time away from the club, she realised that running was about her own journey of exploration. Stepping hugely out of her comfort zone, Ambira attended the LRC Training Camp this month, which was her first weekend away from her kids to do something for herself—ever. The honesty and hard work that Ambira shows in both running and life are inspiring, and her progress in both areas is a testament to her commitment to the process. Well done, and well deserved, Ambira.

Endurance - Ireland: Zita Hamilton

Over the last 12 months, you’ve put in some amazing work, embraced the challenges, and shown what’s possible when you refuse to settle. Your performance in Wicklow was nothing short of outstanding—a true reflection of your dedication.

‍

Be proud of what you’ve achieved and how you carry yourself. This is just the beginning.

Endurance - New Zealand: ALEX MCMILLAN

Congratulations to Alex McMillan for being our MOTM for March.

‍

Alex has been a member of Mums Run Club since October last year. Working on her strength gains postpartum last term, before making the leap by adding running back into the mix this term.

‍

After a few nervous messages and the first run session out of the way in January, Alex has tackled our weekly runs with determination and a smile! Her pace and form are improving every week, and she's taking the opportunity to add in optional runs where she can. During strength classes over March, I have noticed Alex's strength, form, depth and range of movement have progressed massively and she's looking stronger every week.

‍

Alex – you are a great mum and an awesome role model for our community. You committed to something scary and have worked hard to push past your perceived limits in running. Keep the momentum going—you’re absolutely smashing it!
