What inspires Colleen

“Right now I am aiming for my 6 stars. My inspiration comes from keeping body healthy and striving to be 1% better every day.”

Off the clock

The real Colleen.

Colleen’s best advice

Practice over fuelling on long runs during training so you can handle taking in your fuel on race day. Practice at race pace as well.

Race day

Race morning: Bagel with PB, banana and coffee early morning
During: XACT energy bars right before and during my race
After: XACT protein bar or recovery shake after.

Guilty pleasure

Slurpee - Coke flavoured frozen beverage

Post-race meal

Burger and fries

Always in the fridge

Baked oatmeal, oatmilk for my iced coffees, chicken

WHEN IT TASTES GOOD, IT’S GOOD.*

Colleen’s words, not ours: “I can perform at my best and recover properly to prepare for future workouts.”
