Meikael Beaudoin Rousseau
Pro trail and mountain runner
Meika is a professional trail and mountain runner specialising in sub-ultra races of 50 kilometers or less.
After graduating from Stanford University with a degree in Human Biology in 2023, he notched an impressive rookie season on the trails; winning a US title and finishing on the podium in both Golden Trail World Series and UTMB races.
Meika experimented with different fueling strategies throughout his first year on the trails and discovered PF&H when preparing for a hot and humid UTMB race in Thailand. Since then, he's had a Sweat Test in Colorado to dial in his hydration strategy and it revealed that he loses 798mg of sodium per litre of sweat.
Outside of competition, Meika loves adventure and the outdoors, especially climbing in the mountains and sea kayaking. He is also an artist, cook, and lover of all things science.
Precision Fuel & Hydration have helped me recognise the importance of a personalised fuel and hydration plan, which is a keystone to success in longer races.
