Meet Mike Sunseri

Raised in Kings Beach, CA, Mike has been running trails for more than half his life. He ran competitively at Incline High School in Incline Village, NV, and competed collegiately at Malone University in Canton, Ohio, where he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science: Pre-Physical Therapy.

Mike was a multiple time state champion in High School Track, as well as 2x Runner-up finisher in Cross Country. Unfortunately for Mike, college running never panned out due to numerous injuries. It was during this time that he focused his attention towards a full body approach to treating and preventing injury by testing and utilizing every tool in the book. Following college, Mike took time away from competitive running to focus on a holistic approach to training and life. Without stress associated with the pressure of collegiate athletics, he began to love running again. Since he began self-coaching and racing again in 2017, he has broken numerous course records and has had podium finishes for many different trail races. His training philosophy focuses around the question- “Do you want to run fast, or do you want to run forever?”. He believes that maintaining the joy and happiness of running while getting back to the basics is essential to improving performance.

Mike currently lives in Lake Tahoe, California, where he continues to reach for higher peaks- regardless of the season. Mike holds a USATF Level 1 coaching certification.

I joined @thenorthface this time last year and hav I joined @thenorthface this time last year and have had the privilege of testing and training in the new #vectiv trail-running shoe. To be 100% honest, I was hesitant about TNF’s trail-running shoes, as I had never ran in them or heard much about them.⁣
⁣
This past week @thenorthface finally released the #vectiv trail running shoe. These shoes are absolutely fantastic, and I’m not just saying that. They’re legit. The addition of the carbon fiber plate as well as a rocker bottom puts you up on your toes, ready to run fast. I’ve ran over 1500 miles in these and also ran a few FKTs. Between myself and the TNF team, we’ve claimed 17 FKTs so far. Not bad for one shoe! If anyone has any questions or needs to know where they can pick up a pair locally, let me know!⁣
