Nicola Smith

LADIES TEAM CAPTAIN & WELFARE OFFICER

I’ve been a member of KS for a number of years and I have a passion for running as it helps clear my head after a busy week at work or stressful week at home.

My earliest memory of exercise is of being an active member of all sports clubs at school like Netball, Hockey and Athletics and competing against all local schools.

When I first joined KS I wouldn’t compete in Cross Country or attend the speed sessions at track as I had no confidence in my ability but over the last couple of years I took the plunge and tried everything – I can’t say cross country is for me but the track sessions have definitely helped me complete Edinburgh Marathon in 4 hrs 16 mins

My running dream is to complete the London Marathon but I’ve applied for over 20+ years and so far have been unsuccessful – so London I’m coming for you until you let me run
