Sam Blakey
Sam has lived in Winchester with her husband and five children for 15 years.
The family has two cats and a slightly loopy King Charles spaniel.
Football rules the roost with the three younger boys playing for five clubs between them.
A journalist and sub-editor by profession, Sam has a love-hate relationship with running (hates the run, loves the high that follows) and says she couldn't even contemplate putting on her trainers unless her Ipod is fully charged.
The real challenge is balancing a marathon training schedule with work and the day-to-day demands of a family of seven.
The perfect run; sunshine, good scenery, solitude and music that matches her pace.
An eclectic collection of running favourites include tracks from The Coral, Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes, Bare Naked Ladies, Amy Winehouse, Jack Johnson, Paulo Nutini, Duffy, Housemartins, The Jacksons, Real Thing, Joe Jackson and The Style Council.
