A coaching philosophy built from experience

Avid sports addicts since, the running bug really bite more than a decade ago and little did I know about the world of continued performance development and improvement.

Toeing the line on the trail running scene in Hong Kong at first (several top 5 or Top 10 across the Barclay's Moontrekker, Translantau50 by UTMB, Action Asia, etc...), privileged to the OCC finals in Chamonix (twice), I ran my first road marathon in sub 3hrs in 2024, showing that with method and dedication results are possible at any age.

And this essentially the philosophy that I'm bringing: building endurance and strength through consistent running, adapted to the demands and constraints of the athlete, novice or expert.

Four steps from first chat to race day.

1

Get in touch by email or Whatsapp (top right corner) and tell me who you are and what you're looking for in your running journey, and let's get to know each other.

2

Agree on the program that's right for you, based on your availability, preferences, experience and objectives.

3

Face to face or online, start our training program with regular assessment of progress, through data analytics and personal feedback.

4

Get to the starting line confident that you'll crush it.
