I’ve always been a sport enthusiast. In high school I started running just for the feeling — no watch, no app, only the need for endorphins that team sports couldn’t give me. After a couple of half marathons I trained for a bit haphazardly, I discovered trail running and everything changed. I’ve always loved having fun outdoors. Sometimes I climb, sometimes I ride, but most often I run the trails for hours. I write when I think what I’m living through might inspire others. Training seriously for races, and later being coached myself, convinced me this was worth doing for others too. I’m a good listener: every athlete needs a different approach, so my job is to adapt to them. In June 2026 I became a certified UESCA Ultrarunning Coach.

I prescribe workouts based on RPE (rate of perceived exertion), not sportwatch data. I believe this is the best way to build independence from devices: I love tech and numbers, and I do use them to analyze workouts and races, but my athletes need to be able to run without them to truly benefit from what those stats tell us. I strongly encourage cross-training — alpine skiing and cycling in particular — and I consider strength training essential to prevent injuries and improve performance in ultrarunning.
