Endurance - Ireland: COLIN SALMON
Colin’s journey to Snowdonia seemed straight forward. He was given the work, he did it. We measured his performance and made him aware of his improvements. Col stayed disciplined and always remained focused on his goal.
What was most impressive was when it came to the day of Snowdonia, the race served him up an experience he probably wasn’t expecting. Coming in 3hrs after his target time he showed mental strength and never gave up on the goal.
Alongside that Col endeavors to make all new athletes that join InnerFight to feel as welcomed as he said he did when he first joined.

This month, she ramped up her speed and elevation training in preparation for the nugget 23km adventure race and in her words was ‘pleasantly surprised’ at her race execution and finishing time.
