About Amber Nelson

Once 100 pounds overweight, Amber went on a health journey and fell in love with fitness and living a healthy, active lifestyle. After losing the weight, she found a love for trail running, obstacle course racing, and the running and hybrid fitness community. Beyond being a competitive athlete, Amber is also a social psychology Ph.D. student.

She's very passionate about providing the health and fitness community with factual and entertaining content. I love staying updated on all the exciting things happening in the trail, OCR, and hybrid fitness world!
