Trail Essentials
I’ve partnered with Joov Products to bring you the trail essentials I trust and use myself.
From hydration and muscle care to movement support, each product in this collection plays a role in how I prepare, perform, and recover — whether that’s a short trail run, a race day, or a multi-day adventure. Everything here is chosen through the lens of MindFuelBody: mind, fuel, and body working together for long-term, resilient movement.
Hydration is about so much more than “just drinking water”.
As a holistic running and hiking coach, I see dehydration and electrolyte imbalance all the time — often showing up as:
fatigue
cramps
headaches
low energy
slower recovery
This muscle balm is one of those products I reach for instinctively — after long runs, big hiking days, or when my body feels a little tight or fatigued.
From a holistic perspective, it’s not just about sore muscles. Massage + warmth + intentional touch helps:
stimulate blood flow
calm the nervous system
support recovery and body awareness
Kinetic tape is one of my favourite tools for support without restriction.
I use it when:
my calves or Achilles feel a bit sensitive
my knees need extra support on long descents
I want proprioceptive feedback rather than “bracing”
From a holistic point of view, tape doesn’t fix the body — but it:
supports movement patterns
increases body awareness
gives confidence without limiting motion
The Joov Muscle Spray is one of those products I reach for instantly after a hard session — whether that’s a long run, a steep hike, or an intense training day.
What I love about it:
it’s lightweight and easy to use anywhere
the cooling sensation helps calm the body fast
perfect for those moments between big efforts when your muscles feel tight or “pumped”
Whether it’s your first ultra, a big trail race, or a long hike you’ve been dreaming about, preparation matters. That’s why I’ve put together this Race Day Ready Bundle — my essential Joov products in one place, chosen specifically for runners and hikers who want to perform and recover with intention.
What’s inside:
✔ Small Muscle Balm — for warming up pre-event and relaxing after
✔ Electrolyte Tablets — for hydration support on the go (choose your favourite flavour)
✔ K-Tape (Extra Stick) — for confident, supported movement
Hydration is one of the most underestimated performance tools — especially during long training days, endurance races, and multi-hour adventures. That’s why the Joov Water Bottle in Neon Pink is something I genuinely rely on across running, cycling, hiking, and in the gym.
Whether I’m out on the trails, heading into a long ride, or deep into Ironman training blocks, this bottle is always within reach. It’s lightweight, easy to grip (even with tired hands), and bright enough to spot instantly — which really matters during busy race days or long sessions.
