Zola Budd

I started running when I was fourteen years old, and broke my first South African record at the age of fifteen. 

Thirty-four years later, I still run and enjoy my running now more than ever.

I went through a phase of competitive running at the highest international level and, for the last five years, I have started running both marathons and ultra-marathons.

In 2014, I came 7th in the Comrades Ultramarathon (89KM).

I would describe my biggest running achievement to be able to run at my age and still be able to enjoy my sport everyday.

This is the main reason why I want to share the personal knowledge I have gained as an athlete  throughout the years of both competitive and non-competitive running.
