Moy Park Miles Blog – Laura

‘Moy Park Miles’ is a collection of interviews that are showcasing some of our wonderful staff as they prepare for all the Moy Park sponsored running events this year.

Get ready for our next interviewee – Laura Monteith! Laura is one of our Insight Analysts and we have sat down with her to see how she is getting herself ready for the Moy Park Belfast City Women’s 10K this year.

Thanks for sitting down with us, Laura. Tell us about yourself!

Delighted to be here. I am Laura Monteith and I work as an Insight Analyst for Moy Park.

And we’re delighted to have you here. Any fun facts about yourself that you’d like to share?

Yes, my major fun fact is that I used to work at Disney World! I am a big fan of Mickey and Minnie.

We’ll be coming to you next for top tips on Disney World. We’re assuming based on that last job, which would have required a lot of walking, you know good trainers when you see them. What are you running the Belfast City Women’s 10K in?

There are some really great brands about today but the trainers I use for all my running are my Hokas. I love them and they’ve been great for training and racing.

We are partial to a pair of Hokas ourselves. Is there any running route that you particularly enjoy doing?

I have a lot of running routes that I vary between, but my ultimate favourite is always going to be Ormeau Park. Beautiful visuals and then some of the best food and coffee spots to enjoy after exertion – that’s my kind of run!

We also love a Hoka here. Any bangers that you listen to when putting in the miles?

Well, I am a Swiftie, so it’s always going to be a Taylor song for me. I have been playing her song ‘New Romantics’ more times than I would care to admit. But, it’s a great track to keep you moving.

Love it! Our last question is how will you be fuelling the night before the 10K?

I am going for a fakeaway vibe and I am making loaded fries with Moy Park’s Southern Fried Mini Fillets! All the protein and carb loading needed in a delicious bowl.

Oh, we might join you on that one. Laura, thanks for taking the time to talk to us today. Wishing you all the best for race day!
