Nelle Fox is the owner of Excel Rocktown Running, established in 2017, a local running and racing company. She is a certified running coach, Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, TRX qualified fitness coach, and holds a Master of Education in Reading.

Running has been a part of her life since she was 12, but her personal pursuit of mastery in running began after the birth of her second daughter in 2013. Between 2015 and 2016, Nelle grew very ill and later was diagnosed with Late Stage Lyme Disease, acute Babesiosis, Late Stage Bartonella, and Intermittent Epstein Barr Virus. Needless to say, the process of healing when resting was the prescription was a tough sell. However, in time and with the support of healers and literature promoting a more sustainable way of life, Nelle was able to heal and reach remission from these diseases. While being sick was incredibly scary and entirely unpleasant, it was the springboard to begin analyzing patterns of behavior and begin grounding herself in practices that promote sustained wellness and optimal performance. Now, she is stronger and faster than ever, performing consistently in the top 1-3% of female runners. In the past few months, she has run a 101.85 trail race with 23,000 feet of climbing (4th female) and a Boston Qualifying road marathon in 3:08 (11th female) overall.

Nelle believes that practicing patience, a strong resolve and belief in oneself, and consistent groundedness, not necessarily balance, are the keys for any person who seeks mastery in a given area.
