[{"content":"Different paths. Same trails. #We\u0026rsquo;re Kelly and Nills, two Belgians living in California. We moved to the United States in 2018 and found our way into running at different times, for different reasons.\nNills: from a first run to 100 miles #Nills started running in 2015, mostly for his health. A first trail race in 2017 got him hooked on trails. From there it kept growing: a first 50K in 2021, a first 100K in 2024, and his first 100-mile finish in 2025.\nKelly: finding her own way into running #Kelly has lived with chronic pain since 2016. In 2022, a hike through Joshua Tree showed her that movement helped her manage her symptoms — running has not made her pain disappear, but it has become part of how she deals with it. That discovery led to a first half marathon in 2023 and a first 50K in 2024.\nWhat we share now #These days we train together, race together, and share the whole thing online because we genuinely enjoy it — the good runs, the bad ones, the gear that works, the gear that doesn\u0026rsquo;t, and everything in between.\nWe\u0026rsquo;re middle-of-the-pack runners who take the sport seriously without taking ourselves too seriously. Runners who happen to make content, not the other way around.\nWant to say hello, share a trail recommendation, or talk about a collaboration?
