Training The Mind - Victoria Mugo - Chief Endurance Officer

Victoria didn't know that she had an endurance mindset until four years ago when she became a quad amputee due to contracting pneumonia which lead to an infection that became septic.

When Victoria had her limbs removed in order to save her life, she feared that she would never be able to compete in endurance races and run her own company. She decided to not let her surgery keep her behind so she put her mind over matters and was determined to continue with her goals.

Victoria made small goals with herself to help get her back on her feet. She bought bands to exercise her limbs to build strength. Victoria started to train her mind to get her back into the rhythm again of being able to do what she thought was impossible.

While Victoria was waiting for her insurance to be approved in order to go to physical therapy, her friend built a wheelchair ramp for Victoria’s house and with that ramp, Victoria took this advantage and started to train herself to walk. She didn’t want to wait any longer to get back to walking.

After a month of being released home from the hospital, Victoria competed in her first 5K endurance walk.

Victoria encourages people to try new things that they never thought they could accomplish. She believes that if you try something new and you don’t like it, you will know what your limits are and what you can achieve. This will push you to finish your challenges.
