About

Welcome to my world — one run, one race, one pair of shoes at a time.

I’m a passionate traveler, runner, and storyteller on a mission to explore the world through my footsteps. This blog is where I share my experiences running in beautiful, unique, and unforgettable places across the globe. From bustling city streets to tranquil beachside paths, every run tells a story — and I’m here to share those moments with you.

What started as a simple habit to stay active while traveling turned into one of my favorite ways to connect with new places. Running lets me discover cities before they wake up, witness sunrises in unexpected spots, and find hidden trails that don’t make it into guidebooks.

But this blog isn’t just about the routes. Alongside my travel runs, you’ll also find running shoe and sneaker reviews, race reviews, and running tips to help you get the most out of every mile. Whether you’re a seasoned marathoner, a weekend jogger, or someone just starting out, there’s something here for you.

I test and review some of the latest running shoes and sneakers, sharing honest feedback about performance, comfort, and style for different kinds of runners. I also love participating in races whenever I can — from local fun runs to international events — and documenting those experiences right here.

And because running is more than just putting one foot in front of the other, I also share practical tips on training, injury prevention, gear essentials, and ways to stay motivated whether you’re on a treadmill or running through ancient streets.

This blog is for everyone who loves the open road, the quiet of an early morning jog, or the electrifying atmosphere of a race start line. It’s about the places, the people, the shoes on your feet, and the stories we collect along the way.

Thanks for visiting and joining me on this global running adventure. I’ll keep running, reviewing, and sharing memories — one beautiful route, one race, and one great pair of shoes at a time.

See you on the next run! 🏃‍♂️🌏👟

Welcome to Rundefeated. I believes every great adventure starts with tying your shoelaces. From windy city runs to hidden shoe store gems, I’m chasing stories, finish lines, and proof that we’re all stronger than we think — even on the days we’d rather hit snooze
