For all ambassadors, it will be the first time they complete the distance of their choice. To have them prepared responsibly, they started with a series of assessments, including a DEXA scan and a lactate threshold test on the treadmill.
Beyond the physical tests, our Best Us Ambassadors geared up for three action-packed workshops. They delved into everything from analyzing test results to mastering warm-up and stretching routines, and even uncovered the secrets of efficient running and breathing. It was a full day of holistic preparation that’s bound to push them toward new heights on Sunday October 30!

Having two previous ambassadors in the office, I ran out of excuses of why not to go for it. For every ‘I don’t have time..’ or ‘But it is cold/winter time..’ , I got three positive and encouraging counter arguments! So even though this is (way) out of my comfort zone, going for it!
Keep up with the Ambassadors!
Keep your eyes peeled because we’ll be sharing regular updates on the Best Us Ambassadors’ progress—everything from triumphs to challenges, breakthroughs, and maybe a sprinkle of healthy competition.
We’re more than just coworkers; we’re their biggest cheerleaders, and we’re excited to watch these Soficans turn into marathon superstars!

Running has always been a hobby of mine, but I have never pushed myself beyond the 10-mile mark. With six months of training and guidance ahead of me, I’m gearing up for my first full marathon, a true test of my limits. Excited to start this journey with my fellow ambassadors!
