The Inside Track

Jennifer Yip

What do you do for a living?

I'm a Practice Pharmacist at Bridge View Medical Surgery in Bedminster

How long have you been running with EGRC?

On and off for about 3 years I think

What do you enjoy most about running?

Being able to meet lots of different people who share similar hobbies as me. I love being in the fresh air after being locked inside my 4 walls all day.

How do you spend the rest of your time?

Netflix - just finished The Stranger. That was pretty good. Hanging out with the family, mostly eating when we have our gatherings. You'll find us in Watersky having dim sum on most Sundays. Watch my husband play Fifa on ps4. Trying out different restaurants or cafes where I can have a good catch up with some of my pals.

What is your favourite food?

Beef lasagne, Carbonara Congee - Cantonese style savoury rice pudding. Its great! Noodles and dumplings. The list goes on.... Hence the need for running.

Do you have a favourite race/event/distance? If so tell us about it.

I quite like Bath Half Marathon, nice 2 lap route. First lap is slow, but psychological advantage after second lap. I did the Portsmouth Coastal half marathon back a few years ago, that was really enjoyable.

What is the best place you have ever run?

Hopefully Lochness Marathon coming up in October this year. I've heard it is hard but so are most races! Bring it on Nessy!

What is top of your bucket list?

Getting a place in London Marathon. I would also like to do a charity hike though, either Ben Nevis or Kilimanjaro.
