IM Ironman: A Celebration of Resilience
“Everyone asks me what the next race is that I'm training for. I train for life. It's not just the body; it's the mind. I train to believe. No matter the challenge – fatigue, uphill climbs, headwinds, pain – belief in myself and the next step makes the impossible possible. Just believe, then work for it."
- Mo, Co-founder of Athletifreak

Mo's Lighting Round: High-Octane Q&A
Go-to snack for a boost of energy?
"I’m old school, bananas and water are my go-to. Although I’ll be honest, I love the little gummy blocks. It’s like eating candy on a run, a total win-win!"
Best time to run?
"Must be a trick question-- all day, anytime, any day. Within that, I love mornings. There’s a special sense of accomplishment when it’s only 8am and you already have 10,12,15 miles behind you. Best part is the breakfast that follows."
What goes through your mind as you approach the starting line of an Ironman?
"You just soak it in. The energy is electric, so much positivity. The national anthem is always emotional. I love the hug and kiss that I get from my family before getting out there. It’s a wicked build up of emotion that eventually culminates with a tranquil moment of absolute stillness - and then you just GO!"
Can you share a particularly challenging moment during the race and how you pushed through it?
"The challenges are all in your head and they can haunt you throughout, if you let them. Focus on the positive, find rhythm, and have fun … There's nothing challenging about that."
