Melanin MVP | 💪🏾 Muscles and Miles

Running is the foundation for her fitness journey, yet she never planned on running on anything but a track surface. Alissa Lay was a high school track athlete who found her way to the trails in college. As someone who’s always considered themselves an athlete, it appears the off-roading adventures weren’t enough for her. Soon after graduating, she started bodybuilding, because that’s a natural next step everyone would take. After a few competitions, she reconnected with an old friend and agreed to ride in a 250-mile bike ride commemorating the 1928 Harlem to DC route led by Kitty Knox. Runner. Bodybuilder. Cyclist. Sure, why not?Melanin MVP on beehiivAlissa Lay on Instagram
