Marisa Romeo's Ultrarunning Gear & Expert Recommendations
Mental Performance Consultant
Appalachian Mountains, NCDon't let later become never.
I'm an elite ultrarunner, Mental Performance Consultant, college professor, and lifelong athlete. The trails and mountains are where I spend most of my free time, and I'm especially drawn to technical mountain races, point-to-point adventures, and looped courses that demand both physical and mental resilience. Many of my favorite races take place across Europe and the UK, where rugged terrain, changing weather, and long days in the mountains put gear to the ultimate test. The products I recommend are the ones I trust through thousands of training miles and race days in demanding environments. From mountain ultras to everyday training, my goal is to share gear that performs when it matters most.
