Jacqui Bell: Redefining Endurance, One Step and One Ice Bath at a Time
At just 23, Jacqui Bell became the youngest person ever to complete an ultra-marathon on every continent — a record-breaking journey that took her across deserts, jungles, glaciers, and mountain ranges in some of the harshest environments on Earth. From the burning sands of the Sahara to the biting cold of Antarctica, she ran further and fought harder than most could imagine, proving that determination can outlast almost anything.
This milestone wasn’t just about physical strength; it was about resilience, mindset, and the ability to adapt. And behind every finish line, one constant stood out: the importance of recovery.
The Other Half of Performance
For Jacqui, success in ultra-endurance sport isn’t just built in the hours of running, it’s built in how well she allows her body to repair and reset. Training blocks and competitions push her system to the limit, but recovery is what allows her to keep coming back stronger.
That’s why the Niseko Solo with a 1HP Chiller is a cornerstone of her at-home routine. The system delivers consistent, near-freezing temperatures, giving her all the benefits of professional recovery facilities without leaving her own space. Cold immersion reduces inflammation, accelerates muscle repair, and sharpens focus — critical tools for an athlete who regularly trains and competes on the edge.
Staying Consistent on the Road
But Jacqui’s career doesn’t stop at home. She travels frequently, chasing competitions and new challenges worldwide. For that, she turns to the Plunge Solo, MHC’s portable ice bath designed for athletes on the move. Compact and durable, it allows her to maintain her recovery ritual anywhere — whether that’s a race village, a training camp, or a hotel courtyard.
Consistency is everything for an athlete at her level. Having a portable solution ensures that she never loses momentum, no matter where in the world she’s competing.




Building Resilience
Cold immersion isn’t only about physical recovery. For Jacqui, it also strengthens the mind. Staying calm when submerged in freezing water mirrors the mental resilience required to push through the darkest moments of an ultra. Each plunge reinforces the discipline and composure that allow her to keep going when fatigue, weather, and distance stack against her.
Her routine — Niseko Solo at home, Plunge Solo on the go — is a reflection of that balance. It’s the discipline of recovery paired with the drive of performance.




Looking Ahead
As she continues her career, Jacqui is chasing new challenges with the same relentless energy that made her the youngest to conquer the world’s ultras. With her recovery dialled in, she’s not only prepared for the next race — she’s prepared for the long run.
Her story is a reminder that endurance isn’t just about how far or how fast you can go. It’s about how well you recover, reset, and rise again.
