In this episode of What’s in Your Pack, I’m joined by Miranda Williamson, an ultrarunner and one of the hosts of the Running With Problems podcast. We take a deep dive into her trail running gear, including a review of her upgraded Black Diamond Distance 8L running vest. She shares why switching from a 6L pack was essential for longer mountain races, such as the Softrock and the High Lonesome 100. We also cover key items like her Leki trekking poles, the lightweight and durable Arc'teryx jacket, and a B-Free water filter—must-haves for ultra marathons and high-altitude adventures.

Miranda breaks down her gear strategy, explaining how she organizes snacks like sports beans and real food options in front pockets to maintain energy on long runs. She also offers insights on preventing blisters with her poles and why a reliable hydration system is critical for races like the San Juan Solstice 50 miler.
