After graduating from º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ in 1981 with a degree in English Literature Wendy went on to be one of the first British women to have a career as a full-time athlete.

During her time at º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ she had gained her first senior GB vest, but knew that a career in the sport would require full focus, and would be hard to combine with working. She then went to live in the US where she found success on the road running scene. This enabled her to train full time and compete in the summer months on the track.

Success followed; with several British records at the Mile and 3,000m and a World best over 10km on the road. Also a Commonwealth silver medal in 1982 followed by a win at the inaugural Women’s World 10km Road Running Championships in 1983. In 1984, Wendy won a silver medal in the 3,000m at the Los Angeles Olympics; the first time women had been able to compete at a distance longer than 1500m at the Games. She also completed in 1988 in Seoul, but injury forced retirement soon after that.

Since retiring Wendy has had a successful career in publishing, working in senior marketing roles at various publishers including Readers Digest, and is currently MD at Athletics Weekly which covers the sport of track and field and running across multiple channels. This includes the magazine AW which has followed athletics since 1945. She was awarded an MBE for services to athletics in 2015, and currently sits as an NED on the board of UK Athletics.
