Today’s #MedalMonday is dedicated to powell_shannon who crushed her first marathon in Paris yesterday, finishing strong in 4h 32mins, even with all the selfies she took along the way! 🤳🏽

What made her journey even more impressive was her commitment through adversity—despite dealing with an injury during training, Shannon stayed consistent with her rehab, mobility work, stretching, and cross-training.

It was inspiring to watch her approach every challenge with patience, positivity, and determination—never losing sight of her goal, even when things got tough. That mental strength played a huge role in getting her across that finish line.

As anyone who’s trained for a marathon knows, most race fuel like gels and gummies are loaded with sugar and heavily processed ingredients but Shannon was on a non-processed food, no sugar diet so we explored alternative fueling strategies that supported her lifestyle—and I learned so much in the process that I’ve even started cutting back on sugar and processed foods myself.

Huge congrats, Shannon—you’re an inspiration! 🥰
