Karina Carsolio is a Mexican trail runner (corredora de montaña) sponsored by Salomon. She comes from a family of world class mountaineers from which she inherited her love for the mountains and the high altitudes (she lives above the clouds at 2600m of elevation, on a vulcano!).
She enjoys running on very technical terrain, which is no doubt since this year she stood on the podium of Dolomyths Run, the 3rd stage of 2021 Golden Trail World Series.
Her deep interest for physiology and her studies in medicine, together with her passion for trail running, made her realize how little awareness and information related to women's health there is among athletes. One of her missions is to extend the research on this topic, to share this type of information and make it available to anyone, in particular to help female athletes struggling with REDs (relative energy deficiency), eating disorders and body image.
