Michele Suszek Fitness Model Gallery

Michele Suszek is no stranger to competition. Having grown up in Alpena, Michigan she has been competing in Sports since grade school. Throughout her years in school sports, Michele soon realized she had an affinity for running as well as other athletics. Her coaches and family nurtured her love for running and helped Michele find her place as a marathon runner.

U.N.L.V. opened the doors to Michele to further pursue her growing passion for running. One day having collapsed on the track, she suffered a brief setback as she underwent an emergency surgery for Parkinson’s syndrome. Doctors as well as school officials told her to stop running and to hang up her shoes. Undaunted, Michele returned to the track a mere 2 weeks later and finished dead last in Conference. She would return the following year to set 2 school records, one in the steeplechase and one in the 5k and was the first on her team to qualify for regionals. She studied Kinesiology when not on the track and graduated in 2005 with a Bachelors degree.

After college, Michele relocated to Denver, CO to push her running to a new level. Now training without the benefit of a coach she runs on instinct and sheer determination. Since moving to Colorado she has run 5 marathons and has earned “Elite” status in relatively short time. Her last marathon in Phoenix, she earned herself a slot in the 2008 Olympic Trials in Boston Massachusetts with a time of 2:46:08. With the 2008 and the 2012 Olympics in her sights, is there much doubt Michele will fall short of her goals? Read more informaion about her at her official website.
