Becky is also a Game Changers mentor, a leader in her local She Runs This Town chapter, and an advocate for greater representation and inclusion in endurance sports. Her work focuses on helping athletes train smarter instead of harder, move with confidence, and rewrite the stories they’ve been handed about what’s possible. https://hustle-eat-thrive.myshopify.com/https://instagram.com/coach.croft
