From walking to Comrades—proving it’s never too late
About Me
Age: 46
Michelle’s fitness journey started with just a few hundred meters of walking in 2017. At 120kg, she knew she needed a change—but instead of chasing quick fixes, she committed to gradual, sustainable progress. Fast forward to today, and she’s completed three Comrades Marathons, with her sights set on her fourth.
As a single mom and Orthopaedic Theatre Coordinator, she understands the challenges of balancing life, work, and training. Her weekly routine includes strength training, cross-training, interval running, and long-distance sessions, all structured around her marathon goals. Michelle is proof that fit is not skinny—it’s about strength, endurance, and showing up for yourself. She hopes to inspire other women to take the first step, proving that no matter where you start, transformation is possible.
