My goal is you to become your best version

Don't you know how to train for your races or maximize your performance?

I know what you mean since I have helped runners in the same situation as you.

Do these sound familiar?

• You don't know how to plan your workouts / runs
  
• You don't know how to apply training related principles
  

• Despite your significant efforts, your improvement / performance is not as big as expected
  
• You overtrain
  

• You get injured frequently
  
• etc.

And the most important, you start races with  a lack of confidence, without a clear strategy and you don't enjoy.

Would you like to...

…have an efficient and structured training plan?
…start your next race in your best shape and self-confident?
…enjoy your runs / trainings / races to the fullest?

In short, become your best version and reach your goals.

¡Congratulations! You have found what you were looking for.

A bit more about me:

Born and grown-up in the green Basque Country (north of Spain), a paradise for trail runners and runners, I have always been passionate about sports and outdoors. I started playing football when I was only 7 years old, and even though I was not serious about running yet, I participated with success in a few fun races in my region at a very young age. My first run was back in 1999, when for the surprise of the local running teams, I ranked 4th position in a 3-mile race in my hometown.

I practiced fun running and football until I started university, where I continued linked to sports as I studied a Bachelor’s degree in Sports and Physical Activity Sciences and a Physical Education Teaching Diploma. During my university years, I kept taking part in some running races, where I would take the chance to put into practice all the learnings and improve my PBs (Personal Bests).

In 2016, after having worked as a Personal Trainer, Sports Coordinator, and Physical Education Teacher, I decided to leave Spain to learn more about the world and seek different life experiences. Since then, I have run and raced all around the world, I have got my Running Coach Certification and lived in New Zealand, Canada, and the Philippines, where running became my lifestyle.
