Trail Runner
Oxford, OHI would say that I try to continue to pursue my full potential. I want to grow as an athlete and human, and that will change year after year.
I am firstly a dad, a husband, and son. By trade, I have my own acupuncture/personal training practice in Oxford, Ohio. I have been running since 2004 and began trail running in 2021. I currently represent Mount to Coast’s Ultra Crew. I would say my favorite distance to race is the 100 miler. It requires a lot of mental and physical strength, gear management, nutrition planning, and navigation in some cases. It’s so rewarding to travel that far on foot.
Discipline: Trail Running
Specialty: 100 Milers

Adam Gloyeske's Expert Gear Recommendations
Gear List
This is the gear that I use to train and race in on a regular basis. Consistent, reliable, durable, etc…all these are accurate terms to describe the gear I use and what I want when searching for the right item.
- H1 by Mount to Coast — I use the Mount to Coast H1 as a reliable shoe for most trail runs and faster road runs. I have also used them in a few ultras and I’ve never had an issues. No blisters, black toenails, outsole issues, pricing problems. Highly recommend this shoe if you’re looking for durability and performance.
- T1 by Mount to Coast — This shoe is my go-to for strict trail runs. The Vibram outsole has amazing grip and the shoe itself has a lower profile, which I prefer for the ground feel it gives on trails. It’s also a fast shoe!
- Vertix 2S by Coros — I have the Coros Vertix 2, so the 2S is an upgrade. My Vertix 2 has been going strong since 2022. The battery life is insane. I charge it maybe once every other month or so.
- Drink Mix 320 by Maurten — I have always used Maurten for my racing. Not so much fueling for training, but I’ve always had success with Maurten in races. Zero GI distress and efficient fueling.
- Drink Mix 320 Caf 100 by Maurten — This is the drink mix I use for the last half of my races. The caffeine definitely is a nice touch to give me more fuel and, mainly, focus to get the job done.
