How I Pack for Trail Running with Asthma

I was born with asthma and told I’d never be able to run. Now, I’m an elite ultra runner—and in this episode, I’m breaking down exactly what I pack for trail runs to stay safe, strong, and fast.

From my inhaler and Benadryl to nutrition, electronics, and even running with my dog Sniktau, I’m sharing everything that keeps me going for hours in the mountains. Whether you’re managing asthma or just want to optimize your trail running gear, I hope this helps you push your limits—just like I did.
