In Seaford? victoria Maleski, vice-Chairman of Seaford Striders Running Club

Victoria is a retired Chartered Surveyor who grew up in Seaford. She moved back five years ago and decided to challenge herself by doing Couch to 5k which was organised by Seaford Striders. She would describe herself as an unlikely runner and believes the mental, physical and social (socially distanced) benefits of running in the wonderful countryside makes it an ideal activity in these strange times. She is married to singer/songwriter Lance, and has two dogs, two cats and seven enormous koi carp. What do you enjoy most about your role? Seeing all our runners achieving results they never thought possible.
