Gear I Actually Use.
Honest picks from an ultrarunner, F3 regular, and Kilimanjaro summiter. Every recommendation is something I've personally tested — no sponsored placements, no fluff.
Ultrarunning Gear
Shoes, hydration, nutrition, and watches that survived a 100k race. Tested on trails, not treadmills.
F3 / Outdoor Fitness
Workout shoes, apparel, and gear for bootcamp-style outdoor fitness — rain, shine, or 5:15 AM darkness.
Kilimanjaro & Hiking
The exact gear list I took to Kili. Trekking boots, layers, altitude essentials, and packing strategy.
Everyday Carry / Lifestyle
The daily drivers — clothing, tech, travel gear, and tools that earn a permanent spot in my rotation.
Latest Picks
Magic Speed 2
Magic Speed for 1st Houston Marathon (4:30)- Magic Speed 2 for 2nd Houston Marathon (4:06). You see I have much room for improvement, BUT I could not have finished either without these. The carbon plate gives you late-race pop. Caution: I ran the Brazos Bend 100k w/ these. Brazos Bend is flate gravel but there are some roots. I finished, but I do not plan to run my first 100miler w/ them though b/c I would like more stability (especially on miles 50-100).
