Sian Lewis, an acclaimed author and blogger behind “The Girl Outdoors,” has made a significant impact in the traditionally male-dominated outdoor community. Her first book is celebrated as an essential guide for women seeking inspiration and information about outdoor activities. Sian’s passion for the outdoors began in childhood with family activities like walking and cold-water swimming. Her career took off after transitioning from magazine work to freelance writing, focusing on accessible outdoor adventures. Solo travel after university boosted her confidence and fueled her desire to encourage other women to explore independently. While acknowledging the progress in gender representation, Sian notes that the outdoor industry still lacks diversity. She uses social media to inspire women and advocates for greater inclusion of people from varied backgrounds in outdoor pursuits.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/ninetoalive.co.uk\/2024\/05\/27\/leading-the-way-sian-lewis-on-empowering-women-to-get-outdoors\/” button_text=”Click Here” button_alignment=”right” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/ninetoalive.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2024\/05\/IMG_7286-edited-1.png” title_text=”IMG_7286″ _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||17px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_divider divider_weight=”4px” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/ninetoalive.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2024\/04\/9583842934_b9b859e791_b.jpg” title_text=”9583842934_b9b859e791_b” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_heading title=”The Midnight Runners Club” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The Midnight Runners is a social running movement that originated in London in 2015, aiming to foster a sense of community and improve both physical and mental well-being through running.

Starting her running journey in Year 10 for fitness, she became serious about the sport, completing her first half-marathon in 2022. Inspired by her mother\u2019s support and her Manchester United fandom, which added emotional significance as she ran past Old Trafford, Eleanor balanced her university studies with an intensive training regime. Aspiring to compete in the World Championships and Olympics, she seeks sponsorship to focus more on her running. Eleanor advises others to find joy in their activities, prioritize them, and avoid comparisons to enhance mental health and enjoyment.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/ninetoalive.co.uk\/2024\/05\/28\/eleanor-baker-fastest-woman-in-manchester\/” button_text=”Click Here” button_alignment=”right” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/ninetoalive.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2024\/05\/eleanor.png” title_text=”eleanor” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#0f9f32″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_cta title=”Want to Tell your Story?” button_text=”Click Here” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” header_font=”League Spartan|800|||||||” header_font_size=”33px” body_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n We’d love to hear from you!
