Jilly started running in 2014 when her now husband Joe suggested that they sign up for the Inverness Half Marathon. She was reasonably fit from several years of dancing so how hard could it be?? A love affair with running was then born and Jilly keenly joined CAAC in 2015. Since then, she has amassed lots of fun memories of training sessions and races and has made some of her best friends in the club.
Jilly became a Leader in Running Fitness in 2025 as a way to give back to the club and to her team mates. She particularly loves the friendly and encouraging atmosphere in CAAC and always aims to foster this through her coaching (while hopefully giving everyone a challenge too). Outside of CAAC, Jilly is a registrar in public health and a mummy to Ellie, who was born in 2025.
