Huge shoutout to RunMamba athlete on a strong performance today at the Fallen Heroes Memorial 5K in Florida. Nicole placed 6th overall out of 418 female runners and also earned 2nd place in her age group.
Nicole has made major improvements over these last few months as we prepare for her next big challenge at the West Virginia Trail Festival 100K next weekend, featuring nearly 12,000 feet of elevation gain. We have spent a lot of this training cycle focusing on treadmill hill repeats, stair stepper climbs, and strength training to prepare for the mountains.
After West Virginia, we will begin transitioning her training toward her first 100-mile race at the Mamba 100 later this year. Proud of all the work Nicole continues to put in. Let’s go crush West Virginia next weekend.
