byRBR AdminStephanie Twell is one of those amazing athletes who remind you that, with heart, focus, hard training and a positive attitude, one can challenge the walls we put up in front of our dreams.
A fine cross country runner, Steph has PBs from 2:02.58 at 800m to 4:02.54 at 1,500m to 14:54.08 at 5,000m. This past summer, Stephanie Twell won the 10,000m European Cup in a PB of 31:08.13 on 6 July 2019.
In her second marathon, Stephanie debuted at 2:30:11 last December in Valencia, Spain.

Self coached the past six months, Stephanie Twell will have the company of her husband, in the Mainova Frankfurt Marathon on Sunday, 27 October 2019.
How fast does she want to go? Stephanie Twell needs a 2:29:30 Olympic qualifying mark, plus a bit faster to get some attention from the British selectors.
We spent 20 minutes with Stephanie Twell on Thursday, October 24. Stephanie was charming, thoughtful, focused and obviously still enjoys the pursuit of goals and challenges of running. Her finishing speed could make her quite dangerous in Tokyo in 2020.
Special thanks to Stephanie Twell for her honesty. Special thanks to Brian Eder for managing the audio production of the Sound Cloud interview.
