Sundried Ambassador Laura Sheriff Completes Total Warrior

Last weekend, personal trainer and presenter Laura Sheriff took part in one of the toughest 10ks out there, the Total Warrior 10k. We found out how she got on.

How are you feeling after completing the race?

Like a warrior! Ready for the next challenge! 

What type of training did you do to prepare for this event?

I actually did very little training because I’m still recovering from shoulder surgery. It was all a little last minute involving HIIT workouts, a few runs, and circuits at the gym.

What was the atmosphere like on race day?

Brilliant! Everyone was game for a great time and there was a real sense of community. Most people who do these races get hooked and do them time and time again.

What was the hardest obstacle you faced?

The ice bucket. You have to drop into a tank filled with ice and put your head under to come out of the other side. It literally takes your breath away!

Who was better, you or Craig?

I’d love to say me, but I’d actually say that Craig needed a medal. He had to hoist me over some of the larger obstacles to make sure I didn’t overuse my shoulder. Having said that I would agree that I won hands down in the style stakes.

How did you find racing in the Sundried tights? 

At first, I was a little worried how they would fair in the muddy, soaking wet environment. Were they going to stretch and go baggy? But actually, they pretty much kept as perfect a fit as they did when I first put them on! Fashion and performance, what more could a girl want?

Anything you would change if you were to do it all over again?

I’d obviously like my shoulder to be stronger but I’d also like to go for a time.
