A few months ago, I had the oppurtunity to interview Francine and I watched her prominence on the instagram running circles grow and grow. I know that a lot of runners on instagram, are inspired by her. I wanted to include her in this years women's campaign and she was the first woman to do the #INDIERUNNERTAKEOVER, lookour for one by a runner from South Africa on the 9th :D 

If you missed Francines Instagram takeover read her posts below.
