HI, I'M

ROSE HARVEY

City lawyer to Paris 2024 Olympics.

MY JOURNEY

How it started

4 years ago, I was working full time in corporate law. I loved running, but the long hours in the office left little time for consistent training. Then, like many others, I was made redundant during the Covid pandemic. It was this obstacle that ended up redesigning my future.
With a lot of time at home on my hands, I needed a good lockdown project, so I upped my training and set myself the lofty goal of making the Surrey County running team. The first opportunity to race was the Cheshire marathon in 2021, where I ran 2:30:59. I never got to run for Surrey, as that time won me an invitation to the England half marathon team.

The road to pro

From that point, my running lockdown project snowballed. In 2022, I joined Puma as a professional athlete, enabling me to focus on running full time. Since then, I have represented Great Britain at the World Championships, I became British Champion at the 2022 London Marathon and in October 2023, I ran 2:23:21 at Chicago marathon, putting me 6th on the British all time list.

The road ahead

I am beyond excited to have been selected for the Great Britain team at the 2024 Paris Olympics. The road to Paris has begun!

Of course, there’s a lot that goes on behind the scenes and I’m incredibly grateful to everyone in my team who has believed in me and supported me along the way. Follow your dreams. They might just become your reality.
