LOS
ANGELES, July 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Herbalife, a
premier health and wellness company, community, and platform,
congratulates its sponsored athlete, Heather Jackson, on finishing seventh in the
women's division at the Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run, the
world's oldest 100-mile trail race.
The Western States ultramarathon, which runs across the Sierra
Nevada Mountains, is one of the five 100-mile races that comprise
the Grand Slam of Ultrarunning. The race has come to
represent one of the ultimate endurance tests in trail racing
with athletes needing to qualify and win a lottery to get entered.
This year, 375 runners competed in the historic route from
Olympic Valley to Auburn, California, traversing 100.2 miles of
trail with 18,000 feet of elevation gain and 22,000 feet of
loss.
"There is an enormous amount of preparation that goes into a
100-mile race including training at altitude, on technical terrain
and fueling with proper nutrition," said Heather Jackson. "In addition to choosing the
right foods, it's crucial to time your nutrition carefully to
ensure you can keep going through the night, especially if you want
to finish under 24 hours."
Jackson, who finished 24th overall, completed the race in 17
hours, 16 minutes, and 43 seconds. The top 10 women were all faster
than the 12th-fastest time in race history going into the day.
"We are thrilled to see Heather achieving incredible podium
finishes across her new careers of ultrarunning and gravel bike
races," said Jennifer Guran, director of sports marketing and
alliances for Herbalife. "She's one of the most dedicated
athletes in the field today, and we are honored to continue fueling
her performance-driven nutrition and supporting her future
endeavors."
Jackson's primary nutrition for these events includes products
from the Herbalife24® Certified for
Sport®* product line. The products include the CR7
Drive drink mix for carbohydrates and BCAAs to support muscle
growth and recovery,† and Liftoff®, in
which ginseng reduces feelings of mental fatigue.†
In addition, she follows each demanding race with
a Rebuild Strength supplement to help rebuild fatigued
muscles.†
