Welcome!

Hi there, I’m Vicky, a Brit living in Oak Park (near Chicago), passionate about fitness, running, and feeling strong at every stage of life. Whether you’re just starting to think about working out, getting back into fitness after some time away, or already deep into marathon training, my blog aims to inspire you to embrace movement, prioritize your health, and stay motivated along the way.

As an RRCA running coach and NASM Certified Personal Trainer, I’m here to share my love of running, my growing appreciation for strength training, and my enjoyment of simply getting outside and moving. You’ll find plenty of running and marathon talk here, but also honest reflections on training, getting older, setting new goals, and figuring out what being fit and strong looks like as life changes. Most of all, I believe fitness should add something to your life rather than take it over, and I hope Training with Vicky can be a place where we share experiences, learn from each other, and build a stronger, more active community. I can’t wait to hear from you!
