I\u2019m not really a fan of that, but I still do it.\u2019<\/p>\n On how it feels to be inspiring others in the sport she added: \u2018That is what I\u2019d like to be known for, to inspire other people, because if I can do it at my age, what can people be capable of if they\u2019re willing to put in the work and it is such a great hobby to have.\u2019<\/p>\n Olympians win Round the Houses as Fiona sets W86 British Best over 10k<\/a><\/p>\n
