✨ “An individual medal isn’t won alone.” Marie-Ange Brumelot ✨

Ep 139 “Little Miracles & Big Community: An Inspiring Journey from Injury to the Podium”

“I have so much to share, and sometimes the story feels too big to sum up in one post. Over the past few months, I faced a torn glute, a broken bone, and 11 weeks away from the sport I love. There were countless tears of sadness, but also 6 weeks of relentless running that eventually led to a team gold medal and an individual silver medal at the 100K World Championship.”

In this episode, we dove into how the power of our running community, unwavering hope, and little miracles along the way helped Marie get back on track—even when it seemed impossible. “Thank you to every single one of you for your endless support during this stressful journey. We did it together! “❤️

Remember: every step, no matter how small, counts. Hoping you all will be inspired by Marie’s grind and journey back to become Vice-Champion 🥈at the 100K World Championships and help her Team earn Gold 🏆
