Jenny’s testimonial: Bouncing back stronger with Zoe’s help

I’ve been working with Zoe for over a year now first whilst I was working towards a sub 4 hour marathon in 2024. After a tricky period of injury over December 2024/January 2025 which Zoe helped me through I was back to a training plan in Spring 2025. Zoe is very much part of my team, along with my coach who sets my plan - I work with Zoe to ensure I am injury free. 

My goals at the beginning of 2025 were a faster half marathon and I wanted to go back to the ultra marathon. I worked hard on interval training, track sessions and hill training and got my half marathon PB in March. Following this, the ultra training began and the training schedule was brutal with a lot of hilly trail running and also still maintaining my speed work. I was clocking 60 miles a week with gym and swim sessions on top of this. My mileage in May was up to 250 miles and Zoe managed to work my treatment around my training and full time job which has me travelling around the UK frequently. I raced in May and had a podium finish! Race day was fast approaching and Zoe made sure I had pre and post race massages booked in to support my prep and recovery. On top of this she followed my progress on the day and has been encouraging me every time I have had a race. 

I don’t know what I expected from the race, but I didn’t expect to run 70 miles in just over 14 hrs. I didn’t expect to cross that bridge in daylight and I didn’t expect I would be 16th lady! Having treatment from Zoe as part of my plan has ensured that I have been injury free throughout such a hard training schedule. She continues to be professional, flexible and is genuinely interested in my success! Zoe did such an amazing job at my post race massage that 4 days after my race I was back on the podium with 3rd lady at a very hilly 10k. I can't wait to continue working with Zoe!
