Olympic Athlete Shares Secret to Performance and Recovery

When it comes to resilience, grit, and unwavering belief in one's dreams, Alexandra Bell is in a league of her own. A professional middle-distance runner who proudly represented Team GB at the Tokyo Olympics, Alex’s success wasn’t handed to her—it was earned, one determined stride at a time.

Alex fell in love with athletics at a young age. But her path to the elite level wasn’t straightforward. It wasn’t until her mid-20s that she fully committed to the sport. From the sting of missed selections to standing tall as an Olympic and multiple-time European and Commonwealth finalist, Alex’s journey has been anything but easy.

Yet through every setback, she chose not to give up.

After many doors closing, I always found a way to overcome the hurdles placed in front of me. I’m a big believer in fighting for your dreams until they come true – and that is exactly what I did.”

This unwavering spirit helped her make history—becoming the first British woman to break 2 minutes in an all-female 800m race in the UK. After finishing 7th in the Olympic Final and clocking a stunning 1:57:66, she now ranks as the 7th fastest British woman of all time.

Her story is a powerful reminder that success isn’t always linear—and that with passion, persistence, and the right support, anything is possible.

How Britt’s Superfoods Supports Health

Behind every personal best is a routine built on consistency, self-care, and smart choices—and for Alex, nutrition is at the heart of it all.

“Britt’s Superfood Juices have played a pivotal role in my journey so far and embody all that I am and stand for as an athlete. Health and wellbeing has—and probably always will be—a priority for me.”

Alex doesn’t just talk wellness—she lives it. Each day starts with a ritual that’s as energising as it is nourishing: Britt’s Ginger & Turmeric Superfood Juice, blended with a collagen supplement.

“It’s my go-to morning mix. Immune fighting natural ingredients that give you that hit without even consuming a touch of coffee.”

She turns to turmeric for its renowned anti-inflammatory benefits and ginger for its digestive and immune support—an essential part of staying healthy in high-performance sport.

In the evening, her recovery routine includes Britt's Superfoods Beetroot Juice—a natural aid for reducing muscle soreness and improving circulation. You can read more about the benefits of Beetroot juice on our blog Can Beetroot Juice Improve Running Performance?
