A few weeks ago I had a call from the Amanda Brasher, head buyer for the Sweatshop - a family business who believe that every runner, from absolute beginner to international athlete, should have access to the very best equipment available. The company is now in it's 40th year and to celebrate the diversity of women runners, Amanda wanted to capture a series of images of real women runners for inclusion in a catalogue to promote the importance of great sport bras and to highlight the training that all Sweatshop specialists have to ensure they provide the best advice for their female customers.
As a sponsor of Parkrun, an organisation that offers weekly, timed runs for runners of all abilities across a number of London parks, the ideal opportunity was the weekly Saturday morning run in Bushy Park, Teddington. It was a very damp and cold Saturday morning and as I enjoyed a hot cup of coffee, I was amazed to see the number of runners who had turned out.

I'm not sure I would let anyone photograph me after a 5K run but it was fantastic to see how willing all the lovely ladies were for us to photograph them when they finished their run. From 17 to 70, it was inspiring to see such enthusiasm for running and I have to say, how incredibly youthful all of these women looked.
