IZABELLA KENDALL – INSPIRATIONAL ATHLETE

Izabella’s pain began to settle as she kept consistent with her exercise and rehab to build strength and mobility. The first couple months of visiting PEAK Izabella was encouraged to look beyond to a goal that would keep her on a pathway of improvement and health, however nothing came to mind at the time. Despite this, when her third party cover came to an end and she was feeling back to where she was pre-accident her performance mindset continued to lead her towards continuing weekly prevention classes at PEAK.

It was soon after when Izabella made the goal to commit to get back to running and set the challenge of running the 5km Dream Big Virtual Running Festival in late 2021. Training regularly and committing to her strength exercises every week she smashed her goal and was ready to step it up a notch. She chose the Gold Coast 10km in 2022, a distance she had never run before.

Having a strong drive to push her limits and commit to the challenge, Izabella attended weekly Stride club at New Farm, Wednesday prevention classes and Sunday group long runs alongside the PEAK team. July 2022 arrived and Izabella smashed her 10km run, crossing the line in the time she had wanted.
