Reflection & Celebration 🏃🏽♂️ This evening I had the pleasure to speak to around 80 people at the Stanmore Jafferys Annual Running Awards Dinner. What an evening! I spoke about how the wider club is focussed around unity and support; our running cohort within the club is exemplary of the values we aim to uphold. My role at the club is one that gives me a view of all our activities, so it is great to see our running department and note its obvious strengths and hopefully take them to our other sports too. I spoke not only of my own reflections as a recently inducted runner but also of how it is important to celebrate each other’s successes and how we can be each other’s catalysts for success in our pursuit of running. It is so important for us not only to support each other but also keep each other accountable! This evening, along with some great food, laughs, and accolades, shared some great wisdom from the likes of Furquan Ismail , who shared many nuggets of wisdom from his own journey. One noteworthy moment from his speech was the mention of setting goals and targets for 2026. This is something that I resonated with not only from a running perspective but also from a business standpoint. Whether it’s running, gym, football, work, family, or any hobby, goal setting and focussed plans or training regimens are vital. A great evening of reflection and celebration.
