Testimonial Tuesday: Meghan Baird
Posted by on
If you're not familiar with the golden-haired girl from the Golden State, familiarize yourself with Meghan Baird (aka The Hangry Runner Girl). This pre-med student from California State University Los Angeles is a savage endurance athlete with a marathon PR of 3:14 and two finishes in Boston.
We recently sent her some of our Friction Zone gel because when you're logging lots of training miles in the SoCal heat, chafing can get to be a real problem. This is what Meghan had to say about our product compared to all the other ones she's tried over the years:
"I've used a LOT of anti-chafing products, and I can honestly say that Friction Zone is the best I've ever tried. Easy to apply, long-lasting, and doesn't stain my gear. Thank you to Brave Soldier for creating a quality product and keeping me sane!"

Filled with time with friends, BBQs, fun weekends at the lake/beach/pool and some fun training outside; soon those summer tans (and probably those tan lines) will fade, but the memories will [...]
From the Archives: Spartan North American Championship 2018
On the heels of the 2019 Spartan Race North American Championship in Glen Jean, WV, we're reminded of a powerful testimonial concerning our Antiseptic Healing Ointment. In the 2018 Spartan North American Championship, the women started before the men (something rarely done) and Nicole Mericle led for almost the entirety of the race. This would prove [...]
