About this listen
Jenny doesn’t run for medals or times — she runs to heal.
In this episode of The Pace Invader, I talk with Jenny, a Weymouth-based runner originally from Thailand, whose journey into running began in 2017 as a way to fight depression without medication. What started as a personal therapy has become her way of finding peace, freedom, and strength.
Jenny opens up about:
- How running became her “medicine” after years of domestic abuse and mental health struggles.
- Why each run feels like meditation and freedom, even on busy roads.
- Her proudest achievement so far: completing 25K at the Jurassic Outdoor Challenge.
- Balancing goals like chasing a sub-30 parkrun with simply “just keeping her legs going.”
- How she now gives back by volunteering to support other Thai women in the UK facing mental health and domestic abuse issues.
Jenny’s story is one of quiet strength, resilience, and hope.
