Chris Melton's Trail Running Gear & Expert Recommendations
Mediocre Runner
Cincinnati, OHThe magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding
Husky fella transformed into a trail and ultra runner who went from struggling to walk a quarter mile to chasing dreams. I’m all about getting outside, embracing the hard stuff, and proving that you don’t have to be fast, experienced, or built like a traditional runner to belong on the starting line. I share the gear, nutrition, and tools I actually use and trust from training and race day to trail work and recovery. If it helps me keep moving forward, there’s a good chance you’ll find it here!
Discipline: Trail Running
