Opera star Natalie Coyle is put through her paces by Olympian Louise Hazel as she prepares for charity run

Not just warming up the vocal cords! Opera star Natalie Coyle is put through her paces by Olympian Louise Hazel as she prepares for charity run

She hits the high notes when she's performing on stage to thousands of people.
And now Natalie Coyle has been putting herself through the paces for a very different outlet.
The opera singer was spotted training in Victoria Park in east London earlier this week as she gears up to take part in a 10k run for the British Heart Foundation.

And there was certainly going to be no slacking as it was Olympic athlete Louise Hazel who worked her out to the max.
The two ladies were seen running through the park, while stretching and jumping to work up a sweat.
And Natalie certainly seemed to be enjoying herself despite the hard work Olympian Louise was putting her through.

She shared one photo on her Twitter page showing off her toned torso as she posed in her gym gear.
She wrote alongside the image: 'I had my first training session today with Olympian @louisehazel whipping my body into shape for @TheBHF 10k.'
And she later added: 'May have just gone for a run but still smiling lol #Pain #running #fun #blonde.'

Both girls are taking part in the run as they have a close connection to the cause.
And it seems Natalie is well on her way to being ready for the great cause despite being incredibly busy with her own work life.
Coyle is also getting ready to perform Abide With Me and the National Anthem at Wembley Stadium on Saturday afternoon for the Rugby League Tetley’s Challenge Cup Final.
And the classical singing sensation is hoping Barbra Streisand will tune in to her Wembley Stadium performance this weekend.

The blonde beauty is to sing at the iconic venue in front of 80,000 fans on Saturday, and after Sir Elton John sang along to her last performance at the stadium in May before watching his beloved Watford FC, the 25-year-old stunner is hoping to go one better this time.
She exclusively told BANG Showbiz: 'There are pictures of Elton John singing along last time I was there, it was pretty cool. He is amazing, I don't know if I can get that much better than having someone like him singing along with me.
'But I wouldn't mind Barbra Streisand. Not that she goes to watch UK football matches, but that would be great.
'Elton John was pretty big because musically he's a genius. But I don't think I could ever get used to performing at Wembley.'
Keeping fit: Not only is she warming up her vocal chords for Saturday but she's been getting ready for her 10K run

Natalie will also sing God Save The Queen ahead of the Tetley's Challenge Cup Final between rugby league sides Hull FC and Wigan Warriors. 
While it will be her hat-trick of National Anthem performances at the stunning stadium, she is still expecting to be "terrified" before she launches into her first note.
She added: 'It feels like a second home now, I'm gradually learning the names of everyone who works at the stadium as it will be the third time this summer I will have performed there. 
'It's still scary, though - I can never eat before, I just drink hot water and lemon.
"As you go into the corridors nearing the Players' Tunnel you can hear people's feet stomping and a slow, really silent grumbling and you're like, 'It's going to happen.'
'It's the most amazing experience and you can't really describe it. When you're on the pitch by yourself the sound just focuses on you. It's the strangest experience. You can never prepare for the sound, that's what gets you.
'It's amazing and an honour but there is that element of complete and utter fear. It's terrifying.'
Natalie Coyle will be taking part in the British Heart Foundation Blenheim Palace 10km run on Sunday 6 October. Visit http://bhf.org.uk/Blenheim to register.
