SHIRLEY MITROU
My athletic journey began in the world of bodybuilding, where I pushed past every comfort zone and ultimately earned my IFBB Pro Card in 2018. That moment sparked a deeper curiosity — what else was I capable of?
After a short time competing as a pro, I set my sights on new adventures, including a solo 800+ kilometre walk across Spain. That transformative experience reconnected me with my purpose and reignited my desire to challenge myself in even greater ways.
That’s when I discovered 29029 Everesting — an ultra endurance event that requires participants to climb a mountain repeatedly until they’ve gained the vertical equivalent of Mount Everest (29,029 feet) — all within 36 hours. It was bold, intimidating, and absolutely beyond anything I had ever attempted. I knew I couldn’t do it alone.
That’s when I reached out to Tamara.
For 24 weeks, she coached me with an unwavering commitment to my success — balancing training, nutrition, mindset, and recovery with precision and care. From endless step-ups to overnight hikes, strength work, and mental conditioning, Tamara built a program that left no detail to chance. She didn’t just prepare me physically, she helped me believe in myself at a level I never had before.
When the event arrived in June 2025 in Sun Valley, Idaho, Tamara was there — every step, every climb, every moment. Together, we conquered that mountain, summit after summit, until I reached the top one final time, completing the challenge well within the 36-hour window.
It wasn’t just about the physical achievement. It was about revealing who I truly am — resilient, powerful, and capable of so much more than I ever imagined.
I’m endlessly grateful to Tamara for her expertise, dedication, and belief in me. She’s not just a coach — she’s a catalyst for greatness and I can’t wait to see what we’ll accomplish together next.
