Favorite LEGEND® product: hands down the Compression Recovery Socks because to be a better runner (and climber), you have to also be aware of non-running things like strength training, flexibility, and recovery. These socks help my recover fast after a race or workout and I can leave them on for long periods of time

Favorite LEGEND Product: My current favorite product from LEGEND is the calf sleeve. As a ultra runner, I depend on my calves to get me from the start to the finish. Before using these sleeves I would be unable to knock out a back-to-back long run due to my calves being so tender. Since I have been wearing them, I am able to 30 plus miles on Saturday and get back out on Sunday for more punishment. I have noticed the sleeves reduce DOMS if not eliminate it completely. My LEGEND calf sleeves are part of every long run. They are comfortable during my runs and I notice the support they provide.

LEGENDARY Goal for 2017: My LEGENDARY goal this year it to run the Yeti 100 in September. That means my training plan is going to be torturous this summer with the Virginia heat and humidity. I am also in the beginning stages of my run every day goal – just passed day 52.
