About Me
Mirka Gores developed a deep love and appreciation for sports and nutrition as a child growing up in Communist Czechoslovakia. Resources were very limited and all of the family meals were prepared from scratch. Mealtime was a time for the family bonding, a time to cook together, tell stories and share the events of the day. Mirka still exhibits a strong bond with her family and continues to draw inspiration from them for her athletic pursuits and her M 100 Active Nutrition business.
Mirka is a graduate of the Nutrition Therapy Institute in Denver, Colorado and is a Certified Nutrition Therapy Practitioner and Master Nutrition Therapist. But her path to becoming a Nutrition Therapist was anything but easy or direct. She admits that she had to learn from her mistakes by “failing to realize how to get it right” many times as an endurance athlete. Those early experiences with falling short on nutrition gave her the incentive to pursue a formal education in the field.
The focus of Mirka’s M 100 Active Nutrition business is on sharing her passion for nutrition and fitness with others. Her experience as an endurance athlete includes running (5K to half marathon, with a 50K race later this year), biathlon, triathlon (Olympic and sprint distance), and cross-country ski races (10 miles to 100 miles). Her skiing experience includes completion of the world’s toughest cross-country ski race, the Arctic Circle Race, in Greenland – a 3-day, 160 km race that takes place about 65 km above the Arctic Circle with overnight temperatures below -20 F.
Mirka’s thoughtful and understanding approach to guiding endurance athletes to achieve their goals begins with her own experiences. At different times in her life she has been an omnivore, a vegetarian and a vegan, so she understands the different nutritional challenges inherent in those lifestyles. As an endurance athletes herself, she also understands how important the correct nutrition is in achieving superior performance and balance in everyday life. She believes that optimal nutrition requires a consistent focus on consuming the correct nutrients and fluids every day. That includes eating fresh, organic whole foods and taking the time to rest and recover from workouts.
