PDAC Meets Jemma Reekie - rising through the ranks and dealing with life in the spotlight

After taking a historic middle-distance double at the Europen Under-23 Championships back in July, Nike athlete Jemma Reekie looks to have found perfect form ahead of the World Championships in Doha.
Pro:Direct Athletics Club member, Lizzie Clarke, caught up with Jemma whilst at the British Athletics Training Camp in St Moritz to ask her about her rise through the ranks, how she trains and what life is like as one of the UK’s fastest young middle-distance athletes.
Jemma trains regularly in the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 36. You can check out the full Nike Zoom and track spikes collections online now at www.prodirectrunning.com and make sure you SUBSCRIBE to our channel for more exclusive content from the worlds fastest athletes and biggest running brands.

Jemma. This is your target 1:53.00 ... you can do it. Keep pushing a little harder each race. Keep pushing beyond what you have already done and you will crack 1:53. You know you can do it. Get physically stronger, run faster, crack 1.53!! That's your target, Jemma.
