TAVISTOCK Athletic Club's 'athlete of the month' is Hannah Coulston.

Already a keen hockey-player, Hannah joined the club two years ago, having been inspired to improve her fitness by entering 'A Race for Life.'

A few months ago, her training suffered a set-back, but, undeterred, Hannah worked hard to regain her fitness and came back with determination, gaining personal bests in both the local Autumn Trail and the 10-mile Great South Run helped raise £200 in sponsorship for the Childrens' Trust by competing.

Hannah says that she found the club very welcoming when she plucked up courage to go along, and that she's made some great friends.

* Despite the weather, training at TAC for both adults and juniors continues on a Tuesday and Thursday evening, with a 'men only' session each Monday evening and a ladies track session on Saturday morning. Please phone 01822 612577 for more details.
