About Us!
RUN SAFE. BE SAFE.
Why RunSafeGear.com?
RunSafeGear.com is a resource built on the “Mindset of Anticipation.” We don’t run in fear; we run with the confidence that we are prepared for whatever the path throws at us.
What we are made of
Most running resources focus on how to get faster or how to trim seconds off a PR. While performance matters, there is a more critical foundation that often gets overlooked: Safety.
My name is Matthew Mitson, known to the community as Mitz. I am an ultra-runner, a solo pavement pounder, and a trail explorer. I’ve spent years pushing my limits across hundreds of miles of terrain, often in the dead of night or in isolated environments where “hope” is not a safety strategy.
Tested in the Trenches
I don’t just talk about gear; I rely on it in the most grueling conditions. My philosophy is forged from years of pushing through the “pain cave”.
I’ve owned the same RUSEEN vest for more than five years because it works. I’ve dealt with leaking hydration flask caps 20 miles into a run and headlamps that quit mid-run. I’ve made mistakes and learned from them so maybe you don’t have to.

Field-Tested Proof
When Possible I review gear after it has survived the grit of real-world miles. My philosophy is forged from pushing through the “pain cave” in elite endurance events
