Meet Anca, a dedicated member of PARC and PARC Fit Run club passionate.
Anca is a passionate runner with the ambitious goal of completing all 7 major world marathons. Anca has been a member at PARC for 10 years and when she isn’t conquering the world, she promotes health and wellbeing as the founder of her own supplement brand, and believes it’s important to be proactive with your health.
We sat down with Anca and asked her to share her thoughts on her running journey and what motivates her.
- How long have you been a PARC member
I’ve been a member of the PARC family for 10 years.
- How did you get into running
I joined an info session at PARC about running and it inspired me to give it a try. The PARC Fit running group has been fantastic. They’re full of encouragement, practical tips and it’s an inclusive atmosphere. I started by running short distances once or twice a week, and since last year I have discovered a real love for running. I got more serious about it and completed my first marathon in October last year and have never looked back.
- What keeps you motivated
In the tough moments, I remind myself I’ve been through tougher battles in life and each time, I’ve risen stronger. I believe it’s important to be proactive with your health so besides running I like to shake things up with some of my favourite classes like GRIT, Cycle, Pilates and Core. This helps keep my training fresh and avoid overuse injuries.
- What is your next challenge
I’ve set myself the goal of completing all 7 world major marathons in 2 years. I have already completed London and Sydney, and my eyes are set on my next major marathon. It’s a bold move for sure but no one else truly knows what I’m capable of except me.
Well done Anca on all your hard work and we wish you well for your next marathon
