I&rsquo;m Caroline, the creator of Run With Caroline. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since starting Run With Caroline in 2018, I have helped millions of women around the world at every stage of their running journey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I created Run With Caroline to share my love for running and fitness. They have quite literally been my therapy over the last 16 years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The benefits of running go far beyond the physical &ndash; it has become much more of a mindful and meditative activity for me as I&rsquo;ve grown older.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My journey as a runner began in 2008. Since then, I&rsquo;ve participated in various running events, ranging from 5k runs to half marathons to duathlons and triathlons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&rsquo;ve also embraced the importance of strength training in order to become a stronger and faster runner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2018, I became a certified Run Leader with UK Athletics, quickly followed by a qualification as a Run Coach and Level 3 NASM Personal Trainer in 2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since then, I&rsquo;ve been helping women in my local community in Cambridge, UK to start their running journeys by leading beginner and intermediate running groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My mission is simple:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Empower women through running and fitness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Support women at every stage of their running journey.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Promote self-improvement and self-confidence through running.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Raise awareness about the physical and mental health benefits of running.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find more about my personal story below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped has-white-background-color has-background wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-mv_trellis_1x1\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"728\" height=\"728\" data-id=\"11842\" src=\"https:\/\/www.runwithcaroline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_8140-728x728.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11842\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.runwithcaroline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_8140-728x728.jpg 728w, https:\/\/www.runwithcaroline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_8140-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.runwithcaroline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_8140-480x480.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.runwithcaroline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_8140-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.runwithcaroline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_8140-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.runwithcaroline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_8140-96x96.jpg 96w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1240px) calc(100vw -

I clearly recall my first post-university run &ndash; I could barely manage 10 metres without getting out of breath!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Determined to make a change, I committed to regular running. The outdoors, combined with the physical and mental benefits, brought me solace. With each run, my confidence, inner strength, and self-esteem grew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2010, I set my sights on my first half marathon, even though I had only been running for two years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea terrified me, but I persevered and transformed my life in the process. Crossing the half marathon finish line was a defining moment, and it boosted my confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fast forward to 2023, and I&rsquo;ve completed numerous 5k, 10k races, and half marathons, in addition to various walking and hiking challenges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While running isn&rsquo;t solely about speed, I&rsquo;m proud to have achieved the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Multiple 5k runs with a personal best of 21.44.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Multiple 10k races with a personal best of 44.32.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Multiple half marathons, including a second place finish, with a personal best of 1:47.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2018, I became a UK Athletics Run Leader, leading beginner and intermediate running groups in my hometown, Cambridge, UK. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A year later in 2019, I achieved certification as a Run Coach and Level 3 NASM Personal Trainer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&rsquo;ve had the privilege of working with hundreds of women, ranging from beginners to seasoned runners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite my running achievements, my journey hasn&rsquo;t been without challenges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2018, I was diagnosed with endometriosis, a chronic illness with debilitating symptoms. While this condition has limited my ability to run long distances, I underwent endometriosis excision surgery in 2022, which I&rsquo;m immensely grateful for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since my diagnosis, I&rsquo;ve become an advocate for raising awareness about endometriosis and demonstrating that even with a chronic illness, you can maintain an active lifestyle, albeit with certain limitations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though there have been moments of self-doubt and crises of confidence, my determination to continue running remains unwavering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, I&rsquo;m grateful to still be running. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Running has evolved into a spiritual and mindful activity, no longer fixated on pace and distance. I look forward to a future filled with happiness and health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you for being part of the Run With Caroline community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Caroline &#128578;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey there!
