Shelby Farrell's Running, Skiing, Cycling, Fitness Gear & Expert Recommendations

    Morrisville, Vermont

    Big cats hunt at night.

    I did not start as a runner, but once I discovered long efforts, I was hooked. Running is the through line, supported by strength training, cycling, skiing, and time outside. I’ve chased distance and discovery, finishing fourth female at the Cocodona 250, running 290 miles from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, earning first place female at Rim to River 100, and playing with FKTs. My spirit animal is a mountain lion. Their power, intention, and physical strength within the animal kingdom mirrors the balance of body, mind, and spirit in the human realm.

    Discipline: Running, Skiing, Cycling, Fitness

    Specialty: Trail, All Mountain, MTB, Yoga & Strength
