Melissa Perez 14 | Healing Through Running, Born to Run Experience, & Founding a Community to Empower Women (La Dirección)

In this episode, I interview Melissa aka @la.direccion.🏃‍♀️ We talk about her ultra running journey, Born to Run experience, ultra running community, pooping in the wild, and founding La Dirección which focuses on “empowering all women through trail running, by creating a safe environment that challenges the mind, uplifts the body, and enriches the soul.” 🤍

Melissa is an ultra runner and coach. She was a competitive runner in college and kept running until 2017 after running Boston Marathon. In 2019, she decided to run her first ultra (50K) and got 8th place. She knew she could do better so she continued to work hard and challenged herself to become better. Last month, Melissa ran #borntorunultra marathons 60M and got 1st place.🥇
