Martin Torres's Outdoor Sports Gear & Expert Recommendations
CTS Ultrarunning Coach
Los Angeles, CA"They did not take the race seriously except among themselves.”
Martin Torres is a lifelong outdoor and endurance athlete. Spending his youth backpacking and camping in the mountains of Idaho, Martin built a love of adventure and the outdoors. Martin added racing in the form of XC mountain biking and road biking during high school and college. After moving to Los Angeles and spending several years climbing and mountaineering, the goal of moving quickly through the mountains and testing one’s limits naturally led Martin to trail and ultrarunning. Martin has a wide range of personal running experience and a background in coaching athletes at all levels. He served for five years as Head Coach of the adidas Runners trail program, where he coached dozens of athletes to run their first ultramarathon while simultaneously coaching more experienced athletes for competitive goals. In 2026, Martin joined CTS as an expert coach for runners, where he works with every level of experience and skill-level; from novice to elite.
