On 10th May 2025 – Natalie finished 1st Overall female in the Endurance Life Half Marathon starting from Martinhoe on Exmoor with 2822ft of elevation gain, ‘feeling every foot’. She added coming in 4th place at around 7 km with massive blisters, I decided it would be longer and more painful to walk back, so I ran quicker and overtook 3 runners to come in 1st place by 2 minutes.
