CO-FOUNDER AND HEAD COACH OF THE SHERO LIFE

JESSE AKISTER

I thought I’d start myfitness journey late, beginning CrossFit at 27.  Don’t let that confuse you. In the past 13 years I have competed internationally in CrossFit and Powerlifting as an Australian Representative.

Having achieved what I’d aimed for in strength sports now 40 I have turned my sights to a completely different type of challenge – a 100km Ultra Marathon.

The secret to trail running – it’s actually fast hiking with snacks. That’s why I love it. – I want women to know that if they just start and keep choosing to turn up, unbelievable, magical things are possible.
