October Athlete of the Month
Let's give it up for our jet setter Zubeida, who just completed her first international race – representing MLH all the way in Cappadocia. Zubeida is another hard worker who shows up and diligently goes about whatever madness Mike has dreamed up for the week. A brave heart who’s always up for the challenge, she’s entered some wild and wonderful races over the years – this one being no exception. 63km is no joke, and Zubeida made it look easy. Well done for doing the hard thing! We’re so proud.
1) What is your favourite race you've run?
My favorite race thus far has been my 1st International race that was Cappadocia Ultra Trail. It was amazing running and seeing different people and cultures from various countries and people enjoying the same sport. The comradery and gees were just off the charts. I however have many local races that I hold dear especially Cape Town marathon that I missed this year and felt fomo with the vibe that was going on here.
2) Best post-run snack / meal?
My post run snack or meal is everything I can see in front of me I eat LOL. Post-race hunger is real. I don't really have anything specific that I go to.
3) A mantra you think of when training?
Work hard now to run easy on race day. And when race day comes my mantra is when you feel like failing fail forward and turn your failure into success. Happy running!
