A member of the Inspire Together team, Pete, a 41 year old father, reflected on the changing dynamics of his life. Balancing the responsibilities of parenthood and work in sports development had left limited time for self-care. However, the desire to push personal limits and rediscover the resilience within led him to embrace a challenge he hadn't tackled in years.
Pete said of the decision to take part in the Leicestershire Running Festival: "I love the work the Youth Sport Trust do and we deliver a number of their programmes as part of our work across Leicester City."
"My running partner has been my dog, Ruby. She has kept me training regularly and is never less than 100% committed to a run, unlike me sometimes!"
