Hi! I’m Delene and I am delighted to have been an ASICS FrontRunner since 2025. I began running for physical fitness, but it’s the mental benefits that have kept me going.

I began running in 2018 when I signed up to Sydney Half Marathon and jumped out of a plane to raise money for the centre that looked after my Dad when he passed away when I was younger. I realised the sense of purpose and motivation running gave me was something else, and I wanted to keep hold of that feeling.

I have had one heck of a year with the ASICS FrontRunner team, starting in April 2025 where I ran my first-ever marathon in Paris! A real highlight of my year has been joining my international teammates for the Vienna Women's Run, where I took on the 10km course - a fast and flat one, ideal for PBs. I then ventured away from road running to participate in my first-ever trail race - the Paznaun-Ischgl Ultra Trail in the mountains of Austria. I was definitely diving in at the deep end and was the last person across the finish line in the 30km distance (2,5000m ascent).

Thankfully, I honed my trail running skills in Chamonix in August 2025 with some of my ASICS FrontRunner teammates, where we spent a week at a training camp ahead of the UTMB races. I stay upright on the trails far more often now (but not always!). Chamonix is without a doubt the most beautiful place I've ran.

I finished off this year with a trip to Tokyo to watch the World Athletics Championships, even having the opportunity to run around Japan National Stadium's track where I'd spent the week watching the real athletes run.

What are my goals for 2026? If I write them here, it may keep my accountable! I want to tackle a trail race in the UK, I want to run my second-ever marathon and I want to give Hyrox a go.
