Yumna Isaacs

January Athlete of the Month

It’s time to celebrate our content queen - Yumna Isaacs. 👸 Known well by the crew for her creative flare and post-run recap reels 🤳 Yumna has become an integral part of MLH. She’s one of our most regular crew members too - and it’s rare that you won’t see her grinding it out at one of our sessions. 👀

Her consistency and hard work are paying off, and she’s a force to be reckoned with both on trail and road.🧨 This month she too tackled Bay To Bay 30km, showing us how it’s done with impressive speed and power. Here’s to doing the hard things (cough cough hill repeats) and reaping the rewards. we’re proud of you Yumna! 🏆

1) When did you get into running?

Believe it or not, I was a 3000m athlete in high school, representing the the school team. Only took running seriously again during COVID and the rest is basically history. It’s become an addiction to say the least.

2) fave distance to race?

Favorite distance would be a half-marathon. It’s short enough to tingle that inner-speedster in you and long enough to enjoy any potential views 😂.

3) Tell us something unassuming about yourself

I actually don’t like hugs 👀. But MLH has made me a hugger so clearly throwing that one out the window 🤣.
