I then decided to expanded adding Thermatech sporting apparel to the brand. One of my sponsors for many years and in 2022 TnT Sports was created. We re-branded to The Running Store in 2025, due to name clash a more inspirational name, the Running Vibes with a whole new spin, with ideas and of course Vibes.

2015 took on the "La Ultra in the Himalayas 222K at 5,300 altitude, accomplished 53K, DNF - Did Not Fail to attempt such race "Failure is not a Crime, Lack of effort is"
​
2016 saw her tackle the toughest ultra of her running career in the Tor des Geants 320 K, Again DNF at 323 K, climbed 23,000m and only a marathon to go to finish.
