Tackling a trail isn't just about training hard and paying attention to every detail of your athletic preparation. Practical choices often make the difference: protection, prevention, and body care.
Michele Evangelisti, an athlete and coach specializing in trail running and SPORTLAB Milano ambassador, knows this well. During his long days in the mountains—between intense training sessions and extreme races—he always carries three products that have become an integral part of his routine: Active Sun 50+ , Warmup Cream , and Slider .
Let's find out together why Michele can't do without it.
Sun protection: Active Sun 50+
Trail runners are familiar with continuous sun exposure, often at high altitude and for many hours at a time. For Michele, the Active Sun 50+ is a must-have safety feature.
"UV rays are more intense in the mountains, and protection is essential not only for comfort but also for long-term health. Active Sun 50+ guarantees high, long-lasting protection, without weighing down the skin and resisting sweat."
A practical and reliable ally, which allows him to think only about running, without worrying about sunburn or irritation.
Muscles ready for the challenge: Warmup Cream
Before tackling a steep climb or a multi-hour race, muscle preparation is crucial. Warmup Cream has become part of Michele's routine because it helps warm and stimulate muscles even before putting them under strain.
"Especially when I start early in the morning or in colder temperatures, applying Warmup Cream helps me feel ready from the first few kilometers. It's a real help in reducing the risk of injury and giving me an extra boost."
A simple application that translates into greater safety and more consistent performance.
Comfort in the race: Slider
Hours of running, sweat, backpacks, friction: mountain runners know that chafing can become a real enemy. That's why Michele always carries Slider , SPORTLAB Milano's anti-chafing cream.
“I use it mostly in races: with the Slider I eliminate the problem of chafing and can focus exclusively on the run. It's a detail that makes a big difference in ultradistances.”
Small, practical and easy to apply, it becomes a precious ally for maintaining comfort and performance even in the toughest moments.
Conclusion
An athlete's preparation isn't just about kilometers and elevation gain: it's also about paying attention to your body and preventing small problems that can compromise a race.
Michele Evangelisti's essentials – Active Sun 50+ , Warmup Cream , and Slider – are concrete proof of how choosing the right products can really make a difference.
