WHAT YOU SAID
Lisa Cameron
Did my beginners course with chris and was helped by lottey. Loved co leading beginners with Chris and now absolutely love running on Chris step up on Wednesdays. He is so encouraging.
What can I say about Lottey I love running with her I live her moaning and her swearing and the way we secretly challenge each other….although it’s unspoken we always seem to end with a sprint finish 🙂
Sarah Mann
Lottey, I have helped on a couple of beginner courses that Lottey is joint leading with Annette. She is really good at chatting to everyone and making them feel comfortable and encouraging them all the way 💚
Julie Van Aardt
I’m looking forward to starting my beginners journey at Middleton in a couple of weeks!
Lizzy Rose
Lisa is super encouraging and gave me the push (literally) to move up from gentle step up to step up.
Jill Callear
I did my beginners course with Chris 2 years ago. I’m still going to his Wednesday step up, which gives you an idea of what a great Run Lead he is.
As long as he keeps concentrating on avoiding buses going through puddles, I’m giving him a 10 🤣🙈
Rahel Nigussie
I had few weeks of running with Chris and Lisa.
They are such a positive & encouraging creating a great vibe both made the experience inclusive and pleasant for me..
Bex Carton
Lottey Gates and Lisa Cameron both excellent run leads so supportive of those ‘slower’ or ‘at the back’ and not afraid to speak up for what runners like us and them need
Karen Cobbett
Aw, I did Beginners with Chris and Lisa 💚. It’s fab we are all Run Leads. Chris has is very witty and dedicated, please to run with (behind – way behind!). Lisa is just awesome and is always kind. Will persevere and encourage other runners. Haven’t seen Lottey for a while but Lottey hated running even more than me! Great dry sense of humour which I love. All in all, 3 lovely people/Run Leads. 💚
Sarah Mann
Cammers, the absolute legend, just a lovely encouraging happy sole 💚
Nikki Norman
What can I say about Cammers?! She is just lovely and brilliant! She’s so encouraging on runs and is literally so funny too. The world needs more people like Lisa.
Chris and Lottey are so lovely too. I know they both work hard as run leads 💚💚💚
Lar De Dar Holly
Lottey and Lisa are the most genuine and funny people – so encouraging and supportive 💚💚
Ana Falcao Antunes Billenness
Lisa is crazy, funny and a genuinely nice person. She is very committed and passionate about the club. She is also a determined person and has shown you can achieve anything when you put your mind to it!! Chris is lovely and supportive and I am really glad I did beginners with him
Beverley Atkinson
Lisa Cameron and Lottey Gates are both lovely ladies who are always supportive, encouraging, lots of laughter on their runs. Both are legends xx
Cris Saudella
Lottey Gates taught me what it means to be a good team member, to put less pressure on myself and to enjoy becoming a better runner by becoming a better human, I am pretty sure I got on her nerves a lot during beginners, but I will forever be grateful for what she taught me! Lisa and Chris are hugely supportive and bring a little extra sunshine with them on every run, in spite of the weather you start and finish each run smiling more or less brightly! Thank you all 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
