Samantha Harrison incredibly only took up running in late 2018 to help counter stress in her personal life but it proved to be love at first sight and her natural gift for long distance was uncovered.
Harrison credits her meteoric rise - just two years after her first ever half marathon she ran for GB at the 2020 World Athletics Half Marathon Championships - on putting in blood, sweat and tears while staying consistent and driven in training.
Harrison now works part-time as a dental nurse after scaling back her hectic schedule which once led to her doing a podcast interview in the bath.
