I coach runners of all levels with a focus on trail and ultra-distance running. Since 2022, I’ve worked to help athletes train scientifically, understand terrain, and prepare sustainably for races. I’ve co-led programs such as “Road to VMM” and “Road to Dalat Ultra Trail” to build confidence and community among runners. My goal is to grow Vietnam’s trail culture through education, collaboration, and lifelong learning with UESCA, while encouraging runners to respect and protect nature through every step they take.
My coaching philosophy is centered around combining sports science, terrain knowledge, and the sustainable development of each athlete. I believe that every individual has unique potential, and my job is to help them unlock it safely and effectively. Trail running and ultra-distance races are not just physical challenges, but journeys to push personal boundaries. I focus on building a solid foundation, developing endurance, technique, and recovery abilities so athletes can sustain high performance in the long run. Additionally, I value creating a positive training environment that encourages community connection and teamwork. Every small success is a big motivator, and I support athletes in achieving their goals by creating personalized and flexible training programs tailored to each individual.
